Killed at Hare Island in June. It is probably a rare species 
in Greenland, being unknown to Fabricius. Its various stages of 
plumage have been correctly described by Montagu in bis Æp- 
pendix, article * Dusky Sandpiper,” and by Temminck in his Ma- 
nuel: they had been previously involved in much obscurity, and 
had given rise to the variety of synonyms which are referred to. In 
its winter state it is the T. Canutus, or Knot: in its progress to the 
summer state it becomes first the T. Grisea, or Grizzled, then the 
T. Cinerea or Ash-coloured Sandpiper: the old birds in summer 
are the T. Islandica and T. Ferruginea, and Red Sandpiper: the 
birds of the first year, not attaining the high colour of the old 
ones, have been described variously ; as the T. Calidris or Dusky, 
T. N«evia or Freckled, T. Australis or Southern, and the Aberdeen 
Sandpiper.
