The spotted Sandpiper is probably a rather scarce winter 

 visitant. Two specimens were taken near Port au Prince in 

 February, and three at Jacmel, during the latter part of March. 



The following species, although not recorded from San Domingo, 

 undoubtedly occur there during the migrations. Most of them are 

 common in Cuba, and Gundlach records them all in his list of the 

 birds of Porto Rico : Ereunetes ptisillus, Ereunetes minutilla, Tringa 

 maculata, Calidris arcnaria, Limosa fcdoa, Totauus scmipalmatits, 

 Totaims melanoleucus^ Tetanus flavipcs, Totauus so/itarius, Numenius 

 hudsonictis, and Ntimcuius borealis.
