Distribution and migration of North Distribution and migration of North American shorebirds distributionmigr00cook Year: 1912 100 NOETH AMERICAN SHOEEBIEDS. N- X frazari for about a thousand miles from Ventura County, Calif., to Abreojos Point, Lower California (Kaeding). Black Oyster-catcher. Hxmatopus hachmani And. The coast of western North America is the home of the black oyster-catcher, and it breeds locally throughout its range from Abreojos Point, Lower California (Kaeding), north to Prince Wil- liam Sound, Alaska (Grinnell), and west to Attn Island (Turner) at the western end of the Aleutian chain. It winters from the coast pf southern British Columbia (Fannin) southward. The short mi- 'gratK)n is performed during May, and the eggs are deposited at the northern end of the range from the middle to the latter part of June. This is also the time at which eggs are most commonly found at the extreme southern end of the summer home. Downy young were taken June 17, 1900, on Queen Charlotte Islands, British Columbia (Osgood). [Stone Curlew. CEdicnemus histriaius (Wagier). The stone curlew is somewhat generally distributed throughout the lower portions of Central America from Panama to southern Mexico, and also ranges into South America north of the Amazon. It is nonmigratory.] Mexican Jacana. Jacana spinosa (Linn.). The Mexican jacana was described originally from Cartagena, Colombia, and as that remains still the only record for the country, the ascription to this locality was probably an error. The species is known from Divala, Panama (Bangs), and thence north on the Pacific side to Mazatlan, Mexico (Lawrence), and on the Gulf side to the mouth of the Rio Grande (Merrill). It is recorded from Porto Rico (Gundlach), Haiti (Ritter), Jamaica (Denny), and Cuba (Vig- ors)—rare in the first three and common in Cuba. One was taken October, 1899, at Lake Okeechobee, Florida (Mearns)—first record for the State. The species is resident throughout its regular range and
