A few Turnstones made their appearance_, in pairs^ on the 
31 st of May. They frequented the salt marsh before men¬ 
tioned, where I often found them sitting upon some logs of 
drift wood that overhung the water. They fed about the 
mud upon insects, worms, &c.; but I never saw them on the 
sea-shore, nor in company with other birds.

In the beginning of June a very few of these birds were 
to be met with in the pools about the salt marsh; they were 
generally in the water, swimming about and picking the flies 
from the surface. I saw none of them at sea, and only one 
or two pairs in perfectly fresh water.

Arrived on the 7th of June. Some of them kept to the 
sea-shore, often swimming out to sea; but the majority fre¬ 
quented the salt-water marsh, keeping together in small 
flocks of six or eight. They have not the elegant movements 
of the other species, and were more often searching the mud 
with the Sandpipers. The natives told me that both the 
species breed there; but I did not And their nests.

Arrived on the 20th of May, and soon spread themselves 
over the marshes, singly and in pairs ; but the greater num¬ 
ber of them frequented the salt marsh, where they fed about 
the mud in company with flocks of the Diminutive Sandpiper 
and Dunlin, which were the only birds I saw them asso¬ 
ciating with.
