_Specimens examined._--Total number, 6 (3 males, 3 females), as follows: Caroline Islands, AMNH--Ponapé, 2 (Dec. 15); Marshall Islands, USNM--Bikini, 4 (Mar. 10, 14, April 2, 30). _Remarks._--The Bristle-thighed Curlew is a regular migrant through the Marshall Islands of eastern Micronesia. It is recorded as a straggler to the Caroline and Mariana islands. Stickney (1943:4, fig. 1) shows a map and discusses the breeding and wintering ranges of this curlew. As can be observed from her map, the principal wintering areas are east and south of Micronesia. She records the species from the Bonin Islands, which is the westernmost record. It is difficult to offer plausible reasons for the present migratory habits of the Bristle-thighed Curlew. It is related to both the Asiatic form, _N. phaeopus_, and to the American species, _N. hudsonicus_, but its origin is not understood. The characteristics of its route of migration resemble that of some continental migrants and might have come about by a slow adjustment of the species to its environment, probably through an expansion of range from the west. =Numenius madagascariensis= (Linnaeus) Long-billed Curlew _Scolopax madagascariensis_ Linnaeus, Syst.

In Micronesia: Mariana Islands--Guam; Palau Islands--Peleliu, Ngesebus. _Remarks._--The Long-billed Curlew is a regular visitor to western Micronesia, especially to the Palau Islands. It is apparently a less common migrant in the Marianas, although it has been recorded from Guam. At Guam, the NAMRU2 party observed a single bird on June 6 and two on October 3 at tidal beaches. At Peleliu these large curlews were seen on several occasions between September 9 and 16, 1945. They were found usually as singles feeding on tidal flats in company with other shorebirds. =Limosa lapponica baueri= Naumann Pacific Godwit
