Killed at Hare Island in June. It is probably a rare species 

 in Greenland, being unknown to Fabricius. Its various stages of 

 plumage have been correctly described by Montagu in his jip- 

 pendix, article " Dusky Sandpiper," and by Temminck in his Ma~ 

 nttel: they had been previously involved in much obscurity, and 

 had given rise to the variety of synonyms which are referred to. In 

 its winter state it is the T. Canutus, or Knot : in its progress to the 

 summer state it becomes first the T. Grisea, or Grizzled, then the 

 r. Cinerea or Ash-coloured Sandpiper: the old birds in summer 

 are the T. Islandica and T. Ferruginea, and Red Sandpiper: the 

 birds of the first 3'ear, not attaining the high colour of the old 

 ones, have been described variously ; as the T. Calidris or Dusky, 

 T. Ncevia or Freckled, T. Australis or Southern, and the Aberdeen 

 Sandpiper.
