Map showing summer record stations of Spoon-billed Sandpiper. From our present data, the range of the Spoon-billed Sandpiper may be defined as follows: The breeding habitat lies along the Arctic coast of northeast Siberia, possibly also at favorable locali- ties on the Alaskan coast (see Fig. 2), spring and fall migration route along the Asiatic shores of Bering Sea and the Pacific Ocean, and winter home in southern India. The following record of speci- mens from the ' Catalogue of Birds in the British Museum' (Sharpe, 1896, p. 537) affords an outline of the migration route of this bird.
