Abstract
The present paper includes brief accounts of a total of nine (9) species of shorebirds considered as rare visitors in Japan which I have collected from January 1950 to June 1954 on the Nanko mudflat along the shore of Osaka Bay. Records have been maintained on a total of 173 study trips made in this area during the above period. A more detailed, complete publication of my observations in this area is contemplated within the next few years.
The following species are here recorded:
1) Tringa stagnatilis (see Tori, No. 65)
2) Pseudototanus guttifer (see Tori, No. 65)
3) Calidris canutus canutus
4) Calidris ferruginea
5) Limicola falcinellus sibirica
6) Crocethia alba
7) Charadrius leschenaultii leschenaultii
8) Himantopus himantopus himantopus
