Tringa maritima. A specimen was shot on Great South Bay by An- 
drew Chichester, a gunner of Amityville, on Nov. 23, 1899, and sent to me. 
It was alone, on a bank of sea-weed drift. It is rare on this part of the 
coast, where the shore is altogether sandy, with an entire absence of the 
rocks among which it ordinarily seeks its food.
