33. Spotted Sandpiper. Tringoidesmacularius, Gray; Wils. 
pi. 59. fig. 1 ; Aud. pi. 310; Gould, B. Eur. pi. 317; Yarr. B. 
B. ii. p. 544 (fig.). 
This occasional straggler to England is tolerably common in 
St. Croix, and probably remains there throughout the winter. 
“ In 1858, it was absent, according to my observation, from 
April 27th to July 27th.”—E. N. 
34. Yellow-shanked Sandpiper. Gambetta flavipes, Bp. 
Totanus flavipes, Wils. pi. 58. fig. 4; Aud. pi. 228 ; Yarr. B. B. 
3rd ed. ii. p. 637 (fig.)* “ Yellow-legs.” 
This recent addition to the British list occurs, but not plenti¬ 
fully, in spring and autumn, and probably does not remain in 
the island the winter through. 
“I obtained a specimen July 26th, 1857.”—A. N. 
“ I saw it first on August 3rd, 1858.”—E. N. 
35. Solitary Sandpiper. Rhyacophilus solitarius , Bp. 
Tringa solitaria , Wils. pi. 58. fig. 3. Totanus chloropygius, 
Vieill.; Aud. pi. 289. T. glareola , Ord. 
This, the representative in the New World of our Wood 
Sandpiper (. R . glareola, Kaup), which it closely resembles in 
osteological characters and general appearance, has perhaps 
more the habits and note of the Green Sandpiper ( Helodromas 
ochropus, Kaup). In St. Croix it is pretty common, and arrives 
about the same time as the Yellow-legs. 
“ I obtained a specimen July 26th, 1857.”—A. N. 
“ I saw it first on August 5th, 1858.”—E. N. 
36. [?] -- (?) Godwit. Limosa - (?). “ Curlew.” 
We suppose a brown-plnmaged Wader described to us as 
sometimes occurring in autumn, with an ^turned bill, but 
called a “ Curlew,” to be one of the American Godwits, though 
which species we are unable to state. 
37. Semipalmated Sandpiper. Ereunetes petrificatus, Ill. 
Tringa semipalmata, Wils. pi. 63. fig. 4; Aud. pi. 408. 
“ Grass Bird.”
