Sterna forsteri. Off the west shore of Bay Farm Island I shot only two or three Sterna forsteri against a dozen or more Sterna fluvialilis. Nearly all appeared to be immature birds and most of them decoyed to a bird thrown up in the air, shot to Sterna forsteri and 15 Sterna fluvialilis. Arenaria interpres. Two on south shore Bay Farm Island. Squatarola helvetica. Common, occasional black-bellied individuals.) Charadrius dominicus. Shot one on south shore Bay Farm Island; was standing with black-bellied bird probably of same species. Doubtless many of the birds I have taken for the other species belonged to this one. Trigalens semipalmatus. Three or four in Melrose slough. Trigalitis nivosa. Three on south Bay Farm Island. Oxyechus vociferus. Several on gravel banks in Melrose slough. Two flocks of about a dozon each flew over calling, southward bound. Numenius hudsonicus. Several, Symphedia semipalmata. Three or four large flocks. Occasional stragglers. With the exception of plover and willet large shore birds were noticeably scarce. Eremetes pusillus. Very common in places, Mostly Actodromas mintilla. The latter were in preponderance. I shot none, however.
