124. Tringa fuscicollis Vieill. Bonaparte's Sand- 

 piper. 



Excessively abundant at the mouth of the Koksoak 

 River in July, August, and September ; also on the 

 eastern shore of Labrador. Not known to breed in the 

 country. 



t 125. Tringa minutilla Vieill. Least Sandpiper. 



Not common at Ungava. I have reason to believe 

 that occasional pairs breed at the mouth of the Koksoak 

 River. 



Audubon, vol. v., p. 282, states that he found nest 

 and eggs, July 20, 1883, in Labrador. 



Coues, p. 232, observed it to be plentiful in Labrador. 



Brewster, p. 386, observed a few daily on the beach 

 at Anticosti. 



Stearns, p. 119, records it common in spring and fall, 

 and breeds in summer. 



f 126. Ereunetes pusillus (Linn.). Semipalmated 

 Sandpiper, 



Occurs sparingly at the mouth of the Koksoak River, 

 and from its actions indicated breeding. 



Audubon, vol. v., p, 278, states he found them dis- 

 persed in pairs and having nests early in June in Lab- 

 rador. 



Stearns, p. 119, reports this species as common in 

 spring and fall.

Three individuals were seen at the mouth of the Kok- 

 soak River associated with Tringa fuscicollis. Two of
