Like Bartram’s Sandpiper and the Buff-breasted Sandpiper, this 
bird, which is common to both continents of America, occasionally 
finds its way across the broad Atlantic, and a temporary home in this 
country. According to Mr. Harting (‘ Handbook,’ p. 140), some 
sixteen instances of its occurrence are on record.

Like many others of the Sandpipers, this bird is a regular spring 
and autumn migrant. The discovery of a nest in a tract of sedgy 
bog round the Loch of Spynie, near Elgin, on the 8th of Jung, 1853, 
has been recorded by Mr. R. Gray in his ‘ Birds of Gio wee of 
Scotland.’

BonAPARTE’S SANDPIPER. 
This American species, of which some eight or nine examples 
have now been procured in this country, is probably more familiar to 
English readers by the name of Schinz’s Sandpiper. Jt is now 
generally admitted, however, that the so-called Z’ringa or Pelidna 
Schinzit is merely a small variety or race of the Dunlin; and the 
appellation should therefore cease to be employed for the present 
species. rey
