On the 22nd of May, J 911 I shot on the seashore at 
Chinwangtao two Sandpipers in breeding-dress which I noted 
down as Sharp-tailed Stints and put away without comparing 
them. On examining one of these birds lately, I found it 
was a Sanderling. I unfortunately recorded the party of 
Sandpipers out of which I shot these examples in my paper 
on Chinwangtao migrants (Ibis, 1914, p. 581) as Tringa 
acuminata. This species, although there is no doubt that 
it passes there, must for the present be eliminated from 
my list. 
A second party of Sanderiings was met with by me at the 
same place on the 18th of May, 1913, out of which I shot 
three examples which formed part of the collection made 
that year for the Migration Committee of the B. 0. C. 
Mr. Sowerby obtained an example in summer plumage at 
Peitaiho on the 17th of July, 1916. 
235. Tringa minuta ruficollis Pall. 
Tringa ruficollis D. & O. p. 472 (part). 
Mr. A. de C. Sowerby obtained the Eastern Little Stint 
in summer plumage at Peitaiho on the 16th of July, 
1916. 
This bird was abundant on the marshy plain near 
Newchwang in September 1889. 
236. Tringa damacensis Horsf. 
Tringa ruficollis D. & 0. p. 472 (part). 
The Long-toed Stint was obtained by Mr. Sowerby in 
worn summer plumage at Peitaiho on the 14th of July, 1916. 
I shot this bird at the marshes near Chinwangtao on the 
22nd of August and 3rd of September following. 
237. Tringa temminckii Leisl. 
Tringa temminckii D. & O. p. 473.
