An adult female that I shot was thin in flesh, and from other indications I was certain that these birds had just arrived. At Kilometer 80, west of Puerto Pi- nasco, Paragua}^, solitary sandpipers passed southward, stopping occasionally at the lagoons, from September 6 to 21, and on September 24 and 25 a number were seen at Laguna Wall at a point 200 kilometers west of the river. The species was not recorded during spring and summer on the pampas, and was not seen again until December 3, when a male was killed on the Rio Negro, near General Roca, Rio Negro, where it was found amid scattered willows on a muddy shore from which water had recently receded. Apparently this is the farthest south from which the species has been recorded. At Lazcano, Rocha, from February 2 to 8, solitary sandpipers were in migration in small numbers and were traveling northeastward along the Rio Cebollati toward the coast. A female was taken Feb- ruary 7. One was recorded at Rio Negro, Uruguay, on February 17, and one was seen at a roadside pool near General Campos, in Entre Rios, Argentina, on February 23. Another was noted at 2.5 de Mayo, Buenos Aires, March 2. During the night of April 5 at Tucuman, Tucuman, the call of this species was heard frequently among the notes from the great flight of waders that passed northward over the city. At this southern end of their range the solitary sandpiper frequents the margins of shallow pools as in the north, often in localities unsought by other waders. I found it far from common.

1918," but the present record is the farthest sonth at which the<br />
spotted sandpiper has been Imown. (The statement in El Hornero<br />

As has been said in the account under Totanus melanoleucus, the<br />
solitary sandpiper belongs with the wood sandpiper in Trlnga, a<br />
genus of tringine sandpipers characterized by a tAvo-notched meta-<br />
sternum, with the nasal groove extended for two-thirds or less of<br />
the maxilla.<br />
The solitary sandpiper in its southward migration reached Formosa,<br />
Formosa, on the Rio Paraguay, on August 23, 1920, when<br />
three were found on overflowed ground along a slough tributary to<br />
the Paraguay. The birds were <strong>si</strong>lent and walked so quietly along<br />
the borders of the pools, often where overhung by brush or grass, that<br />
they might ea<strong>si</strong>ly have been overlooked. An adult female that I<br />
shot was thin in flesh, and from other indications I was certain that<br />
these birds had just arrived. At Kilometer 80, west of Puerto Pi-<br />
nasco, Paragua}^, solitary sandpipers passed southward, stopping<br />
occa<strong>si</strong>onally at the lagoons, from September 6 to 21, and on September<br />
24 and 25 a number were seen at Laguna Wall at a point 200<br />
kilometers west of the river. The species was not recorded during<br />
spring and summer on the pampas, and was not seen again until<br />
December 3, when a male was killed on the Rio Negro, near General<br />
Roca, Rio Negro, where it was found amid scattered willows on<br />
a muddy shore from which water had recently receded. Apparently<br />
this is the farthest south from which the species has been recorded.<br />

in migration in small numbers and were traveling northeastward<br />
along the Rio Cebollati toward the coast. A female was taken Feb-<br />
ruary 7. One was recorded at Rio Negro, Uruguay, on February 17,<br />
and one was seen at a road<strong>si</strong>de pool near General Campos, in Entre<br />
Rios, Argentina, on February 23. Another was noted at 2.5 de Mayo,<br />
Buenos Aires, March 2. During the night of April 5 at Tucuman,<br />
Tucuman, the call of this species was heard frequently among the<br />
notes from the great flight of waders that passed northward over<br />
the city. At this southern end of their range the solitary sandpiper<br />
