. The birds of Indiana; a descriptive catalog of the birds that have been observed within the state, with an account of their habits. Birds. 730 Eepokt of State Geologist.

Common summer resident; a well-known frequenter of the banks of streams, ponds and lakes, and of sandbars everywhere throughout the State. This and the Solitary Sandpiper have the habit of bowing the heads and tUting the rear parts as though they were continually try- ing to balance themselves. They are known under many common names, such as "Sandsnipe, " "Tip-up, " "Sandpiper, " but the best name I have heard that is applicable to both is an old farmer's appella- tion "Teeter-snipe.". Head of Spotted Sandpiper. Natural size. This species is much more noisy than the Solitary Sandpiper, and from its note is often called by what it seems to say: "Peet-weet."

The following dates give the records of its appearance at Brookville, Ind., for a number of years past: April 19, 1881; April 14, 1883; April 21, 1885; April 22, 1886; April 16, 1887; April 13, 1888; April 21, 1889; April 25, 1892; April 20, 1893; April 22, 1896; April 22, 1897. I have observed them mating as soon as they arrive, some years by April 15. Have found them buUding their nests April 27, and the complement of eggs May 18. I also have found young, but recently, out of the nest as
