Zoöl., 63, 1919, p. 178 (Guam); Kuroda, in Momiyama, Birds Micronesia, 1922, p. 45 (Palaus, Carolines, Marians). _Geographic range._--Breeds in northeastern Asia. Winters from Malaysia east to Oceania. In Micronesia: Mariana Islands--Guam; Palau Islands--Angaur, Peleliu, Koror, Babelthuap; Caroline Islands--Ngulu, Yap, Ulithi, Truk, Lukunor, Iuripik, Ponapé, Kusaie; Marshall Islands--Jaluit, Wotze. _Specimens examined._--Total number, 26 (9 males, 17 females), as follows: Mariana Islands, USNM--Guam, 16 (June 4, 6, July 24, 26, 27, Sept. 1, 19, 25, Oct. 8); Palau Islands, USNM--Peleliu, 5 (Sept. 8, 12, 14)--Angaur, 4 (Sept. 21); Caroline Islands, USNM--Ulithi, 1 (Aug. 17). _Weights._--At Guam, the NAMRU2 party obtained the weights of two males, 373 and 435, and of six females, 295-426 (384). _Parasites._--Wharton (1946:174, 175) lists the following species of chiggers (Acarina) taken from the Whimbrel at Guam: _Acariscus pluvius_, _A. anous_, _Neoschöngastia strongi_, and _N. carveri_; and at Ulithi: _N. namrui_ and _N. atollensis_. _Remarks._--The Whimbrel is an abundant visitor to western Micronesia. It was first taken by Quoy and Gaimard, who found it in the Marianas. It is recorded in the Marshall Islands (Jaluit and Wotze), but apparently reaches these islands from the west, since the species is unknown in the Hawaiian Islands.
