340 BIRDS OF THE DISTRICT. 
In Wales: Mr. W. J. Kerr has observed it several times in 
autumn at Maesmor; and Mr. Ruppy tells me that it occurs 
frequently during the winter, from September to March, on the 
Dee, from Llangollen upwards. 
** Totanus calidris. Common REDSHANK. 
‘‘Common round the shores” of Wirral “in autumn and 
winter.” (Br. p. 11.) The same may be said of the Ince district 
[R.N., Senr.]; and the mouth of the Conway [A.M. ] 
It breeds in one place near the Dee in Wirral; and also, 
Mr. NEwSTEAD tells me, on the ‘‘ wild marshes”’ at Thornton- 
le-Moors. 
It occurs in winter along the Welsh Coast, ¢.g., at Rhyl 
[W.J.K.]; Pensarn [J.H.}; Colwyn Bay, &c. 
I have no note of it from inland parts of the district. 
[Totanus fuscus. SprorTrep REDSHANK. 
BROCKHOLES states: ‘A bird was killed about the year 1864, 
which from description was most probably referable to this 
species. Dee Marsh, near Burton.” (Br. p. 11.) ] 
* Totanus canescens. GREENSHANK. 
“Occasionally in autumn and winter on the Dee Marshes.” 
(Br. p. 12.) 
Mr. RALtpH CONGREVE and Mr. Matcoim LoGan shot three 
out of a flock on the marsh at Burton, on August zgth, 1891. 
[One Coll. G.M.] 
* Limosa lapponica. Bar-TaILep Gopwit. 
‘‘ Sometimes common in autumn on the Dee Marshes.” 
(Br. p. 12.) In the autumn of 1892 there were large flocks 
on these marshes [D.D., H.D., E.C.D.], from which Dr. 
HERBERT DosiE shot specimens for the Grosvenor Museum, 
and our private collection. I shot one at West Kirby on 
December 11th, 1886; it had previously been wounded in the 
leg, which perhaps accounted for its late stay. 
Specimens have been frequently brought to the Museum from 
the Dee Marshes. I have not seen specimens from the Mersey 
R.N. 
L ea ae Warrington, tells me he saw a pair as far up the 
Mersey as Arpley. 
Limosa belgica. BLACK-TAILED GODWIT. 
In the autumn of 1891(?), Mr. RALPH CONGREVE shot a 
specimen on the Dee Marsh, near Burton,: at a time: when 
numbers of Golden Plovers and some Greenshanks were about
