Only a single specimen was killed. . The bird is said by Fabri- 
cius to be very rare in Greenland. The fact of the Tringa Cinclus 
and Alpina being the same bird may be considered as established, 
the former in the winter and the latter in the summer plumage: 
for this discovery Europeans are indebted to our countryman 
Montagu. Even the acute and accurate Temminck has not ar- 
rived at clearness on this point in kis Manuel, though he concludes 
the T. Cinclus as referable to the Alpina (his Variabilis) in some 
state. It must not be overlooked, however, that before Montagu 
had published his discovery, the close practical observation of . 
Wilson the ornithologist of America, had put him in possession of 
the fact also. | | or 
These birds must certainly migrate from the arctic regions in 
the winter; since neither Brünnich, Müller, Fabricius, nor the 
Fauna Suecica make any mention of the Tringa Cinclus.

Killed at Hare Island in June: perfectly agreeing with Mon- 
tagu’s description of British specimens; from whence it may be 
inferred thatthe remark made by Pennant of the black collar be-
