bird, but specimens have been obtained near 

 Shoreham, Pagham, and Hastings. 



Tem^mixck's Stint, Tringa Temminchii. A 

 very rare species. Mr. Yarrell says that he has 

 seen examples which were procured in the neigh- 

 bourhood of Chichester. Some years ago one was 

 shot at Cuckmere haven, and is now in the col- 

 lection of Mr. Baillie, of Mellerston, N.B. 



[In 1851a specimen was obtained at Pagham. 

 During the last three or four years, either from 

 increased attention to minute distinctions on the 

 part of collectors, or because the species itself is 

 becoming less rare (though I incline to the former 

 surmise), several examples of Temminck's stint 

 have been obtained in the neighbourhood of 

 Brighton. 



Mr. Swaysland tells me that he procured 

 specimens from May to September in 1853, but 

 none during the subsequent autumn and winter.
