undant as _N. phaeopus_. _=Limosa lapponica=_ (Linnaeus): Bar-tailed Godwit.--A flock of five was observed at Karindingen Island on November 24. _=Tringa totanus eurhinus=_ (Oberholser): Redshank.--_Specimens_, 2: Karindingen Island: [Female], November 24, 1962, MCT 3312; [Female], November 24, 1962, MCT 3313. On August 17, this bird was common and feeding on the coral sand at Karindingen Island. When I revisited the island on November 24 the Redshank seemed to prefer the mangrove areas for feeding and was the most common wader. _=Tringa ochropus=_ Linnaeus: Green Sandpiper.--_Specimen_, 1: Brantian Estate: [Female], November 19, 1962, MCT 3305. The specimen, one of three or four birds seen, was taken near a grassland pond. _=Heteroscelus incanum=_ (Gmelin): Wandering Tattler.--One was feeding along a sandy beach and later on rocks on Siamil Island on September 18, 1962. _=Capella megala=_ (Swinhoe): Swinhoe's Snipe.--_Specimens_, 3: Tiger Estate: sex?, December 9, 1962; sex?, December 9, 1962. Pintasan Agriculture Station: [Male], October 17, 1963, ADG 317. These three specimens lend support to the theory of Smythies (1960:206) that this species is the common snipe of North Borneo. _=Calidris canutus=_ (Linnaeus): Knot.--On August 17, I saw 20 Knots feeding on the coral sand at Karindingen Island. They were still partly in breeding feather, showing rusty color here and there on the breast. I saw no Knots on November 24 at Karindingen Island. There is but one prior record for Borneo, from the North Natuna Islands (Chasen, 1935:39). _=Erolia ruficollis=_ (Pallas): Red-necked Stint.--_Specimen_, 1: Karindingen Island: [Male], November 24, 1962, MCT 3314. The species was common on November 24 around Karindingen Island, usually in flocks of 5 to 10 birds. _=Glareola pratincola=_ (Linnaeus): Collared Pratincole.--_Specimen_, 1: Tiger Estate: [Male], April 28, 1963, ADG 75. _=Chlidonias hybrida=_ (Pallas): Whiskered Tern.--_Specimen_, 1: Kuala Sumawang: sex?, September 18, 1962, ADG 280. Smythies (1960:217) lists no record for North Borneo. _=Sterna bergii=_ Lichtenstein: Greater Crested Tern.--_Specimens_, 2: Kuala Sumawang: [Female], September 18, 1963, ADG 278; [Male], September 18, 1963, ADG 279. This tern was observed several times off the coast of North Borneo near Tawau. _=Treron curvirostra curvirostra=_ (Gmelin):
