Hah. — Northern Hemisphere. Australia. New Zealand. South America (Cab., 

 Maxim., and Burm.; see Scl. & Salv. P. Z. S. 1873, 456.) 

 Not obtained by the Expeditions. 



This species is introduced oil the authority of Prof. Suow, who states 

 tbat it is "common" in Kansas. It is also given by Mr. Wlieatou as 

 occurring: in Ohio, and may not be rare on our larger inland waters, 

 though, like the two preceding species, it is more particularly maritime. 

 It occurs along the whole Atlantic coast during the migatious or iu 

 winter, and is plentii'ul. Its breeding resorts are far beyond our limits. 



Note. — As completing an account of the North American Sandpipers, I introduce 

 the following species, which are not known to occur in the Missouri region:
