Palmer collected seven examples of this species on Kauai in April 1891. Both Stejneger 

 and Wilson have also recorded the Sanderling from Kauai. According to Mr. Henshaw, 

 " it appears to visit the Kau and Kona coasts of Hawaii annually in small numbers.'* In 

 October 1899 this ornithologist shot two at Kaalualu, Kan, and Mr. Sam Kauani assured 

 him that it was by no means uncommon. 



Professor Schauinsland shot one specimen on Laysan.

 doubtless occur on every island.
