--While there are many records of shorebird stragglers from the Old World on the Atlantic Coast of North America, those from the Pacific side are comparatively few. Of Old World species taken on the Atlantic side there are records of twelve, excluding all Greenland records; on the Pacific we have only six, excluding all Bering Sea records. This does not imply that there is less chance of an Old World migrant straggling to the Pacific Coast of America; actually there are probably far more of these waifs on the Pacific than on the Atlantic side. But the number of observers who are inter- ested in shorebirds is infinitely less and there s not, nor ever has been, any shooting of shorebirds over decoys in the west. This practice on the Atlantic Coast was productive of many extraordinary records. During July and August of 1936 a good deal of time was spent by the writer along the north shore of Graham Island, th most northerly of the Queen Charlotte group, British Columbia, in the hopes of recording some of these stragglers. Shorebirds were especially numerous, ten times as many as were seen on a previous sojourn in 1920. But the weather was all against the observer; continuous high winds made the flocks restless and exceedingly wary, so that they  rose usually at 100 yards range. At such a dstance small distinctions were difficult to make out, even with a good binocular, and shooting at hazard into the large flocks would only mean useless slaughter. During part of the time the writer had the pleasure of the company of a fellow enthusiast, Mr. A. C. Mackie, but both of us were away on Langara Island for two weeks at the height of the migration. On that island the great numbers of Peale Falcons (Falco peregrin pealei) [forty pairs nest there on 25 miles of shore line] made the study of shorebirds an impossib~lity. Pacific Golden Plover. Pluvialis dominica fulva. From August 22 to 28, inclusive, small lots of Pacific Golden Plover were seen every day that we were on the beach near Masset; no American Golden Plover were seen then, nor at any time during our stay. All were adults, of which four were taken; three of these are now in my collection and one in Mr. Mackie's collection. Through the courtesy of Mr. P. A. Taverner, of the National Museum of Canada, I have been .able to examine the specimens that might be fulva in that collection; three of these are unques- tionably fulva, the others only brightly colored dominica. The latter are frequently seen on the ß Pacific slope; in fact in all dominica from the west the color is consistently yellowet than eastern ß specimens, but not in any way suggesting intergradation with fulva. The wing measurement and :color of the lower surface, throat, breast and abdomen, can always be relied upon to separate the two subspecies in juvenal and winter plumages. In summer adults, the wing length alone can be relied on. There is obviously a considerable migration of ]ulva down the Pacific Coast in the fall, the adults preceding the young as is usual in the Limicoiae. Whether this migration is deflected by the prevailing southeast trades to cause it to end up in the Hawaiian Islands is at present only prob- lematical. But the assumption by Wells W. Cooke that all the plover that reach these islands from Alaska take the direct route from the tip of the Alaska Peninsula requires confirmation. A complete list of Pacific Coast and interior records of Pluvialis dominica ]ulva as known to the writer is as follows: Comox, Vancouver Island, November 2 and 4, 1903; 5 juveniles taken (not 3 as stated in "A Distributional List of the Birds of British Columbia"). Brooks. Ciayoquot, Vancouver Island, October 16, 1907. W. Spreadborough. Comox, Vancouver Island, September 15, 1922. H. M. Laing. Tofield, Alberta, September 9, 1925. C. J. Hartold. These three specimens are all juveniles, typical ]ulva in every respect. National Museum of Canada. iIasset, Queen Charlotte Islands, August 10, 1920, 1 adult. Brooks. Masset, Queen Charlotte Islands, August 22 and 25, 1936, 4 adults. Brooks and Mackie. Ciallam Bay, Washington, October 28, 1921, 1 juvenile, Carl Lien (A. J. van Rossera, Condor, vol. 38, 1936, p. 217). San Francisco Bay, California, January 15, 1922, 1 in winter plumage. D. D. McLean (Grinnell, Condor, vol. 38, 1936, p. 219). An examination of all Pacific-Coast-taken Golden Plover will prob- ably show further specimens of ]ulva; a doubtful specimen in worn plumage is in the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology in addition to the one recorded by Grinnell. Curlew Sandpiper. Erolia testatea. On the beach some twelve miles east of Masset, Queen Charlotte Islands, I sighted a Curlew Sandpiper among a large crowd of adult Sanderlings and Western Sandpipers, in the evening of July 31, 1936. All were very restless, but by making a detour and aliowing the flock to feed up to me, I was able to collect the stranger. The bird is a male in summer plumage with the first feathers of the winter dress coming in; a very fat bird.
