Nos. 451-452.] LIST OF BERMUDIAN BIRDS. 557 



234. Tringa caniihis (?) Linn. Knot; Robin Snipe.— A 

 single bird, probably of this species, was seen on July twenty- 

 seventh on Cooper's Island, in company with three other waders, 

 a Turnstone, a Spotted Sandpiper, and a supposed Sanderling. 

 All were rather shy and hard to approach. 



248. Calidris arenaria (T) (Linn.). Sanderling.— One instance, 

 not a positive identification ; Cooper's Island, July twenty- 

 seventh. 



263. Actitis macularia (Linn.). Spotted Sandpiper.— I have 

 only two days' positive records for the Spotted Sandpiper, namely 

 July twenty-seventh, when I saw two or three on Cooper's 

 Island ; and July twenty-ninth, two at Hungry Bay. However, 

 Sandpipers were seen on one or two other days, and were prob- 

 ably the Spotted. 



274. jEgialitis semipalniataV>or\2.^. Semipalmated Plover: 

 Ringneck.— One instance, a single bird on Cooper's Island, 

 August twelfth. 



283.1. Arenaria morinella{\:xxiri). Ruddy Turnstone.— One 

 record. Cooper's Island, July twenty-seventh. 



289. Col^n^isvirginianusi,\^^r.r.). Bob-white Quail."- Ac- 

 cording to Capt. Savile G. Keid ('84, P- 227) these birds were 

 imported from the United States in 1858 or 1859. My records 

 for them extend from July seventh to August twentieth, seldom 

 more than one in a day. I heard the spring call as late as Au- 

 gust tenth, and was told that a brood of young was seen near the 

 Hotel Frascati, where the Biological Station was located, shortly 

 before my arrival in Bermuda. 



320b. CohLnibigallina passcrina bcnnudiana (Bangs and Brad- 

 lee). Bermuda Ground Dove. — This is one of the lommon 

 Bermuda birds, being found especially in cultivated areas. It is 

 very tame, allowing one to approach within two yards of it. 



428. Trochiluscolitbrisi^)iyxrvxi:). Ruby-throated Humming- 

 bird.- On July twentieth, as I was driving along the Middle 

 Road, not far from the Whitney Institute, a Hummmgbird flew 

 over my head from among some oleanders. As the Ruby-throat 

 is the only Hummingbird that has been taken in Bermuda (Reid, 

 '84, p. 210), the bird that I saw was probably of this species. 

 On July fifteenth another member of our party (Prof. Albert 

 Mann) saw a Hummingbird in the same neighborhood.
