No. r10.—The Great Snipe. Scolopax major, 
On the 1ft of October 1793 I received this bird from a friend. 
I have no doubt of its being the Scolpax major of Mr. Latham, al- 
though it was inferior in fize and weight, and differed fomewhat 
in colour from that Gentleman’s defcription; perhaps mine was a 
young bird. ; . 
No. 113.—The Red Godwit. Scolopax lapponica. 
Thefe birds are fometimes found on our fea-coaft in great num+ 
bers. Many years ago, two perfons fired amongft a flock of them, 
and killed ten: thefe were brought to me, and I made drawings 
from them; but have not feen one of the fpecies fince.

I believe this bird is not often, met with here. The > only one I 
ever faw, was one that I fhot on the fea-coaft at Be xhill on the 22d 
of September 1792; and,I fufpect that to have been a young bird, 
becaufe it was of a,very light colour, and. its meafurements were 
far fhort of Mr. Latham’s. It was boring into the mud with its 
bill in fearch of food when I thot it. ua

of January 1776 by the fea-fide at Bexhill.

The Wood Sandpiper. Fringa Glareala. 
Thefe birds agree fo nearly in fize, mode of living, and other 
tefpects, that they are with the greateft probability fuppofed to 
be only varieties of the fame {pecics, perhaps male and female. A
