Spotted Sandpiper, ( Actitis macularia). The 
“Peetevs” are about the only representitives of 
this family at present found breeding on the 
island, though there maj'- be a very few King 
necks left it is extremely doubtful, as they 
have been obliged to seek safer homes, from 
the incursions of the voracious foxes. The dis- ! 
tance to certain of the outlying islands is so I 
short at ebb tide that the foxes have gained j 
access to them, and thus not only have the 
ground breeders of the main suffered, but those 
on the pregnable islands, owing to the limited 
area, are depopulated to even a greater extent, 
and the former breeding grounds of the Ring 
necks are destroyed. The nidification of the 
Sandpiper does not differ from the same in 
southern New England.
