_Geographic range._--Breeds in northern Eurasia from Norway and
Germany east to Siberia, Sakhalin, and Kamchatka. Winters from
Africa east to southern Asia, Malaysia, and Australia. In
Micronesia: Mariana Islands--Guam; Palau Islands--Anguar, Koror.
_Specimens examined._--Total number, 2 (1 male, 1 female), as
follows: Palau Islands, USNM--Angaur, 1 (Sept. 21); AMNH--exact
locality not given, 1 (October 26).
_Remarks._--Marche, in 1877, first recorded the Wood Sandpiper in
Micronesia (at Guam). In the Marianas it is apparently an uncommon
migrant but it is considered to be a regular visitor in the Palau
Islands. At the Palaus in September, 1945, the writer found the bird at
a fresh water pond on Angaur. It was not observed on the tidal beaches
at Peleliu.
