Rare Birds shot in Dumfries-shire. — The following rare birds, of the 

 natural family 5colopacidae, have been killed in Dumfries-shire during. the 

 last winter. The first, Phalaropus platyrhinchus, is of rare occurrence 

 in Great Britain, and the distribution even very limited in every part of the 

 world. The others are more frequently found, particularly in fenny coun- 

 tries, and upon the English shores. In the present district they are met 

 with once or twice in a season, either in very stormy winters, or occasion* 

 ally in spring and autumn, when passing to or from their breeding quarters. 

 Phalaropus platyrhinchus (Grey Phalarope) was shot on the shore of the 

 Solway Firth at Preistside, parish of Ruthwell. The specimen had nearly 

 attained its perfect winter plumage, retaining only a few black and reddish 

 markings. Totanus ochropus (Green Sandpiper) was shot at the foot of 

 Skein Water, a small stream running into the Annan, where a pair have 

 frequented for some years, and, with the last, is in the possession of John 

 D. Murray, Esq., Murray thwaite, Dumfries-shire. It is the first time that 

 authenticated specimens of these hirdii have lie^n killed in this district, —
