All thefe birds agreeing exactly in fize, fhape, length and colour 
of the bill and legs, particularly in having the toes entirely divided, 
without any web between any of the joints ; and, laftly, in the 
fhafts of the quill feathers being white in all of them, induces me 
to look upon them as different varieties of the fame {pecies: if fo, 
‘this bird-not only changes its place of refidence, but its drefs alfo, 
according to the different feafons of the year. 
No, 122.—The Dunlin.»: ringa alpina. 
On the 31ft of May 1780 I faw this’ bird on the fea-fhore at 
Bexhill: it fuffered me to approach near enough to diftinguifh its’ 
colours, efpecially the black mark on’ its breaft, as gy sect in the 
folio edition of the Britif Zoology. 
No. 123.—The fmall grey Sandpiper. _Tringa arenaria. 
On the 31ft of December 1793 a bird was brought to me which, 
I have no doubt, is the Zringa arenaria of Linnzus : its fhape was 
fhort and thick, very different from that of the Sanderling or Cur- 
willet; and it had alfoa perfeét back toe with a claw, which that 
bird is entirely deftitute of. I was informed that it was killed on 
the fea-coaft near Rye, and that they were feen there in flocks i in 
the winter. 
No. 124,—The Golden Plover. Charadrius pluvialis. _ 
This fpecies is frequently killed on our fea-coaft in the winter ; 
and, if my. memory does not fail me, have alfo fhot it in the fum- 
mer.’ But the moft fingular circumftance relating. to this. bird is, 
that it varies in one of its charaeriftic marks. Two birds of this 
{pecies, from which I drew a figure and defcription, had no back 
toe, as appears. both from my figure and defcription: and indeed, 
to the beft of my recollection, none that I ever faw-had any back
