Notes	The analysis of stomach contents was conducted in sandpipers of five species (Calidris alpina, Xenus cinereus, Tringa brevipes, T. glareola, T. hypoleucos) collected on the north coast of the Sea of Ariake. A great number of polychaetes and gastropod molluscs were found in C. alpina, and a lot of polychaetes were also found in X. cinereus. In T. brevipes only fragments of crabs were found. In both T. glareola and T. hypoleucos were found a number of skeletons of frogs. Analysing the relation between the invertebrates and the aggregation of birds, the distribution of T. brevipes closely related with that of Crustacea, especially that of Brachyura. And the distribution of C. tenuirostris closely related with that of small molluscs. In both C. alpina and X. cinereus, however, no relation was found between their distributions and any specific prey. There seemed to be two types of the sandpipers at the time of their migration. The first was relatively stenophagous species, such as T. brevipes and C. tenuirostris, which showed the specific preferences to the prey species. The second was the considerably euryphagous species, such as C. alpina and X. cineveus, which showed fairly wide preferences to their preys.
