146 BULLETIN 133^ UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM where they had some protection from the gales that swept the pampa. A dozen were noted here on December 16 and more on December 18. Family SCOLOPACIDAE PHAEOPUS HUDSONICUS (Latham) Numenius hudsonicus Latham, Index Orn., vol. 2, 1790, p. 712. (Hudson Bay.) One was recorded on the beach at Concon, Cliile, April 25, 1921.

As game birds were served with head and tarsus intact it was a simple matter to determine that the birds offered were actually upland plover and not other shore birds, as I proved by ordering them on various occasions. Once my waiter brought two to show me that had been plucked and cleaned, but were still uncooked. The price charged for a portion was a peso and thirty or forty centavos, about 65 cents in our currency. I was told that the birds were so scarce that they were secured only by those gunners familiar with places where the upland plover alighted when in migration. Two were seen near Ezeiza, Buenos Aires, on March 2; at Guamini, Buenos Aires, two were recorded in northward flight, high in the air on March 3, and two more on March 4. At Tucuman, Tucuman, five were heard early in the evening of April 1 as they passed over the city traveling due north during a slow rain accompanied by heavy mist. On the night of April 5 under similar conditions an extensive flight of shore birds began at a quarter of 10 and continued until half past 11. During this period* J. L. Peters, with whom I was traveling at the time, and I identified the call of the upland plover from 38 individuals. The birds were in company with yellowlegs, solitary sandpipers, and a few golden plover. How many passed unheard in the darkness there was no way to know. The calling of these birds when in northward migration was a phenomenon of common knowledge in Tucuman during that season in the year, but all commented upon the fact that the birds seemed to have decreased greatly in abundance in recent years. In conclusion I may say that while the upland plover was recorded on various occasions this took place when the birds Avere in flight and that though special search was made I was not fortunate enough to discover an area where the birds were in residence. As, like the Eskimo curlew, a species that I did not meet, the Bartramian sandpiper inhabits the drier uplands it is i^robable that difference in ecological conditions due to intensive cultivation and grazing have wrought such great changes in the more primitive conditions found on the pampa in its original state that the birds are unable to adjust themselves to them and have been slowly crowded out, where other destruction has not overtaken them. ACTITIS MACULARIA (Linnaeus) Tringa macularm Linnaeus, Syst. Nat., ed. 12, vol. 1, 17G6, p. 249. (Pennsylvania.) On October 25, 1920, near the mouth of the Rio Ajo below Lavalle, Buenos Aires, I saw the familiar form of a spotted sandpiper teeter- ing on a projection at the base of a cut bank of clay. The bird proved to be an immature female. The species had been taken once
