[Dr. Walter was quite entitled to regard this species as 

 new to the avifauna of Spitsbergen, inasmuch as it had 

 never before been recorded for the archipelago. Indeed 

 his specimen has by some years the precedence over other 

 records, although Mr. Pike obtained a specimen, and saw 

 others, in August 1888. 



The Sanderling appears to be a regular visitor in small 

 numbers to the archipelago, for Mr. Bruce has shown me 

 an adult female, in summer plumage, which he obtained at 

 Amsterdam Island on the 15th of August, 1898, — W. E. C]
