BIRDS OF NORTH AND MIDDLE AMERICA. 193 



Breeding on barren grounds or tundra of arctic North America, 

 chiefly from lower Anderson River Valley, Mackenzie, to central Kee- 

 watin (but probably also in parts of Yukon Valley and on east side 

 of Hudson Bay north to Hudson Strait), northward, at least casually, 

 to Cumberland Sound (Cape Edw^ards) , west to Port Clarence, .lUaska ; 

 migrating southward over eastern North America (usually in autumn 

 along Atlantic Coast, in spring through Mississippi Valley) , to southern 

 South America as far as Falkland Islands (Mare Harbor; Port 

 Louis; San Salvador Bay), Straits of Magellan, Tierra del Fuego, 

 Patagonia (Chubut and Port Desire), and Chile (Valparaiso; Ancud; 

 Chiloe Island) ; no record for Mexico nor Central America, few for 

 northern South America (Laguna de Valencia, Venezuela; Trinidad), 

 and in West Indies only Cuba, Guadeloupe, and Barbados; accidental 

 in Bermudas (one specimen, 1875).
