CLARK: LESSER ANTILLEAN BIRDS.

Limosa fedoa (Linn.). Marbled God wit. — Wells records 
the Marbled God wit as a rare migrant on Grenada and Carriacou, 
one or two arriving with the first flights of Yellow-legs (Totanus 
flampes ). 
Limosa haemastica (Linn.). Hudsonian God wit. — Col. 
Feilden says: “An annual visitor (to Barbados), in some years 
far more numerous than in others, generally arriving in October. 
Mr. Massiah informed me that he has a note that on October 10, 
1878, this species passed over the island in large and continuous 
flocks the whole day. I have an example in my collection, a male, 
shot at Graeme Hall swamp by Mr. Herbert Hart on October 6, 
1888 ” 
Totanus melanoleucus (Gmel.). Pika; Greater Yellow- 
legs. — Col. Feilden says : “ This bird arrives as early as May ; I 
have a note of their having been seen at Graeme Hall swamp on 
May 5, 1888 {fide C. Manning), but the main flights occur during 
September and October, arrivals continuing in diminished numbers 
till the middle of November. It appears in comparatively small 
parties, a flock of twelve or fifteen being considered a large flight.” 
The Pika is common on St. Vincent, Grenada, and the Grena¬ 
dines during the migrations. The British museum has specimens 
from Union Island, Grenada, and St. Vincent, collected by Mr. 
G. Whitfield Smith. 
Totanus flavipes (Gmel.). Long-legs; Yellow-legs.— 
Abundant on all these islands, arriving about the middle of July. 
On the Grenadines a few may be found in the swamps throughout 
the year. 
On October 2, 1903, I saw one of these birds flying about inside 
the “ new crater ” of the St. Vincent Soufri&re. What it was doing 
up there 4000 feet above the sea is hard to imagine even though in 
its present state the floor of the “ new crater ” does somewhat 
resemble a beach. This was the only bird seen on the volcano 
with the exception of a few martins (.Progne dominicensis) near its 
base. 
Helodromas solitarius (Wils.). Black-back; Solitary 
Sandpiper. — Common on Barbados, St. Vincent, and the Grena¬ 
dines from July till December. It is found singly or in pairs, some¬ 
times in little parties in favorable localities. If a party of these 
birds be started, the individuals fly away independently of each
