 p. 74. Little Stint. 



The Little Stint I obtained on the coast. A small flock was observed 

 at the south end of the Dead Sea, on the salt flats, in February, and a 

 pair secured. 



The Little Stint breeds in Siberia, but in winter is scattered over 

 Africa to the Cape, and over Asia as far as India, but not further east. 

 Temminck's Stint has not yet been noticed in Palestine. 



317. Tringa sitbarqiiata. (Guld. Nov. Com. Ac. Petrop. xix., 

 471.) Curlew Sandpiper. 



Occurs on the coast in company with the Dunlin in winter. 

 The Curlew Sandpiper is found throughout Europe, Asia, and Africa, 

 but breeds only in the extreme north. 



318. Calidris arenaria. (Linn. Syst. Nat. i., p. 251.) Sanderling. 



Found among the other Sandpipers on the coast in winter. 

 The Sanderling breeds only in the far north of the Old and New 

 Worlds, but is found at other seasons on the coasts of the whole world. 



319. Totanus /lypoleucns. (Linn. Syst. Nat. i., p. 250.) Common 

 Sandpiper. 



The Sandpiper is common in winter and spring. I have not found it 

 breeding, though it remains late. 



The Sandpiper inhabits Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia through- 

 out their whole extent. 



320. Totanus ochropus. (Linn. Syst. Nat. i., p. 250.) Green 

 Sandpiper. 



The Green Sandpiper is the most generally distributed of all the 

 genus during the winter, and remains until June, long after the other 

 Waders have left. 



It ranges through Europe, Africa, Northern and Central Asia.
