_Tringa ferrugineus_ Pontoppidan, Danske Atlas, 1, 1763, p. 624.
(No type locality = Denmark.)
_Calidris ferruginea_ Baker, Smithson. Misc. Coll., vol. 107, no.
15, 1948, p. 55 (Peleliu).
_Geographic range._--Breeds in northern Asia. Winters from Africa
east to Australia. In Micronesia: Palau Islands--Peleliu.
_Specimens examined._--One female from Palau Islands, USNM--Peleliu
(Sept. 6).
_Remarks._--The NAMRU2 party obtained one female on September 6 at a
tidal flat on Peleliu. The Curlew Sandpiper is seemingly a rare visitor
to the Palau Islands from Asia. In using this specific name, I am
following Mayr (in Delacour and Mayr, 1945:107).
