The Marsh-Sandpiper is a very rare visitor on migration to the 

 Japanese islands. The only example that T know of from Japan is 

 the one described from Mr. Owston's collection (Blakiston and Pryer, 

 Trans. As. Soc. Jai)an, 1882, j). 109, no. 95^). It was probably 

 obtained in tlic Yokohama market.
