Sept., 1920 NEW RECORDS OF PRIBILOF ISLAND BIRDS 175 
for awhile with two Wandering Tattlers in view at the time. The actions of 
the two species were practically the same. They feed very close to the sea on 
rocky shores and when disturbed fly lazily, rarely more than a hundred yards. 
The Wandering Tattlers on this occasion appeared perceptibly larger than the 
Polynesian, and the notes of the two were different. The latter uttered an 
irregular screech not of the same intensity or pitch, whereas the former gave 
its usual call, a series of six to ten individual notes uttered in the same pitch 
and rapid succession but each of shortening duration. 
Pipits were seen and one, a female, was taken, on May 29, 1919. They 
were feeding on animal life about the beds of kelp which had washed ashore 
in the Village Cove. Until this time the species had only been seen during fall 
migration, but rather often then. The specimen collected appears to be the 
common Anthus rubescens. 
A female Western Robin (Planesticus migratoriwus propinquus) was taken 
in the barn yard on St. Paul Island, September 15, 1919. I know of the occur- 
rence of the species but twice previously. The first was observed in 1872. The 
specimens upon which the above records are based are deposited in the Museum 
of the California Academy of Sciences, San Francisco.
