Calidris arenaria. — On March 19, 1890, I saw a flock of about thirty-five 
Sanderlings and shot one from it. I saw them again March 22. I learn 
from Mr. Marcus Dunham, a local sportsman, that a few winter here 
every year, the number varying from a dozen to fifty or sixty.

Calidris arenaria in Massachusetts in Winter.— While on a shooting 
trip at Nantucket Island, Mass., I saw on Dec. 13, 1891, a Sanderling 
which alighted for a moment within a few feet of where I was and then 
flew away. As I have before stated (Auk, VII, 294), some of these birds 
regularly winter in this locality. — George H. Mackay, Nantucket , Mass.
