96. Limosa hasmastica. Hudsonian Godwit. — Rare fall migrant; 
a young bird taken August 20, 1898, is the earliest record; two specimens 
taken September 25, 1894, are in winter plumage; two taken October 20, 
1890, are adults in changing plumage. Mr. Win. Loan has a specimen in 
full plumage, and Mr. J. Hughes Samuel saw one June 13, 1895. 
Limosa hsemastica. Hudsonian Godwit. — On September 11, 
1908, I took a female of this species on the North Beach (between Grind- 
stone Island and Grosse Isle). The skin is in my collection. I have 
seen no others of this species during three trips to the Magdalen Islands. 
Tringites subruficollis. Buff-breasted Sandpiper. — A male of 
this species was secured on September 13, 1908, by my companion Mr.

Hudsonian Godwit on the Magdalen Islands. — The Hudsonian 
Godwit ( Limosa hoemastica) is becoming so rare that every occurrence is 
worth publishing, particularly as it seems to be following the Eskimo 
Curlew into oblivion. 
On the 18th of Februaiy, 1911, a hunter got after a flock of six birds, pre- 
sumably all ol the same species, and of these he secured four. Three of 
these were eaten but the fourth was mailed to me by my friend Mr. J. B. 
Boutilier with the above information. It was a new bird to him and was 
also new to my collection. 
The specimen is now No. 2570 in my cabinet. — W. E. Saunders,

Hudsonian Godwit. A correction. — In ‘ The Auk ’ for April, 19 13, the 
date of the godwits taken at the Magdalen Islands was given as February 
18 1911. This should have been September 18, and in view of their rarity 
it is perhaps worthwhile to make the correction.— W. E. Saunders, London,
