54. Ereunetes pusillus (Linnaeus), semipalmated sandpiper. 
Eskimo: Livilivilakulluk , according to Hantzsch. 
This species appears to be very scarce on Baffin island. None was 
observed on the 1923 Canadian Arctic Expedition and none was seen in 
1924. The first seen in 1925 was a single bird taken on June 14, on the 
shore of Nettilling lake just south of Takuirbing river. It was associating 
with semipalmated plover. The next met with was at cape Dorset on 
June 8, 1926. Again it was a solitary bird associating with semipalmated 
plovers. In both cases the bird was silent. 
Hantzsch (1914, pp. 157-158) records a male specimen killed at Isoa 
(Nettilling lake) June 25, 1910. He observed two pairs on July 2. Under 
date of July 26, he states that the bird was rather numerous south of 
Tikerakdjuak. He saw a few at the end of August in the southwest part 
of Nettilling lake, and frequently observed them on the shores of Koukjuak 
river during mid-September. Three of his specimens were listed — an 
adult male from Isoa, June 25, 1910* an adult male from some point east 
of Nettilling lake, June 30, 1910, and one from Blacklead island, August 
24, 1910. 
55. Crocethia alba (Pallas), sanderling. 
A small flock was observed by Kumlien (1879, p. 87) in September, 
1877, at Niantilic, Cumberland sound. This species was not recorded by 
Hantzsch nor the present writer. 
56. Limosa haemastica (Linnaeus), hudsonian god wit. 
Kumlien (1879, p. 40) states that he saw two god wits near cape 
Edwards, on the west coast of Cumberland sound, in September, 1877. 
He provisionally refers them to the present species. No godwits were 
noted by Hantzsch nor the present writer. 
57. Totanus melanoleucus (Gmelin). greater yellow -legs. 
A single specimen was taken by Kumlien (1879, p. 88) on Arctic island, 
Cumberland sound, September 14, 1877. No reference is made to this 
species by Hantzsch. 
58. Numenius borealis (J. R. Forster). Eskimo curlew. 
A few flocks were observed by Kumlien (1879, p. 88) passing north- 
ward up Kingwah fiord in June, 1878. One specimen was collected. 
Hantzsch does not record this species. 
59. Squatarola squatarola (Linnaeus), black-bellied plover. 
Hantzsch (1914, pp. 137-138) records a single specimen killed by his 
Eskimo on August 14, 1910, on the tundra along the west side of Nettilling 
lake. One specimen was taken by the MacMillan expedition to southwest 
Baffin island, 1921-22. 
60. Pluvialis dominica dominica (Muller), golden plover. 
Eskimo: Ungalitte, Ungillilti, according to Hantszch. 
This species is rare on Baffin island. Only two individuals, one of 
which was collected, were seen. The first was observed on an upland 
bordering Koukdsunittuk bay, Nettilling lake, on June 10, 1925; the other 
was shot beside a tundra pool near Koukjuak river on September 4, 1925.
