4. Tringa bairdii Ctoes. Baird’s Sandpiper. — My brother, Mr. 
Philip G. Brown, shot a young male of this species as it was flying along 
Scarborough Beach, on September 9, 1875. It was in company with an- 
other bird, apparently of the' same species, which escaped. This is its first 
recorded appearance on the coast of Maine.

Baird’s Sandpiper at Scarborough. Maine. — Two immature ex- 
amples of Baird’s Sandpiper ( Actodromas bairdi') were shot at Little 
River, Scarborough, on September n, 1883, by my friends Messrs. Win- 
throp Root and Fred. Mead, who gave me an opportunity of examining 
their specimens in the flesh. The birds were killed together, but were 
unaccompained by others of any species. 
It will he rememhered that, up to the present time, but one instance 
has been recorded* of the occurrence of Baird’s Sandpiper on the Maine 
coast. — Nathan Clifford Brown, Portland , Maine.

Baird’s Sandpiper in Maine. — During the autumn of 1895 I made but 
two visits to the seashore and shot but seven Peeps, jet I secured two 
Baird’s Sandpipers ( Tringa bairdii'). I passed the forenoon of Sept. 7 on 
Scarborough Beach, where I found less than a dozen Peeps and shot only 
five. Four of these were Semipalmated Sandpipers, the other was a Baird’s 
Sandpiper. On Sept. 14 1 went to the beach again. In walking the entire 
length of it, — perhaps a mile and a half, — I saw but three Peeps. One 
of them escaped me. The others were shot together, and proved to be an 
Ereunetes and a Baird’s Sandpiper. — Nathan Clifford Brown, Port- 
land \ Me.
