SCHINZ’S SANDPIPER. 
(TRINGA SCHINZI.) 
A small European form of the Dunlin; which has not 
occurred in Britain ; but the name has not yet been 
struck out from some private lists. It enables some per- 
sons to plant upon the unwary the eggs of this form of 
Dunlin for Bonaparte’s Sandpiper (Fuscicollis) unfor- 
tunately named ‘Schinzi’ in the earlier editions of Yarrell. 
BONAPARTE’S SANDPIPER. 
(TrINGA_ FUuScICcoLtts.) 
The egg, in the possession of Mr. Seebohm, which has 
been copied for his book, is not, as the text shows, typical, 
perhapsa beautiful variety, larger, and ruddier than the egg 
of the Broad-billed Sandpiper, but having a similar richly 
freckled appearance. The description, 7 A7s text, of 
Macfarlane’s eggs, describes the Dunlin type. 
My own clutch of four eggs approach the Dunlin ; 
two verge slightly towards Mr. Seebohm’s illustration. 
They were found by Mr. M. T. Smith, who shot the bird 
for identification in a nest on the side of the Great Salt 
Lake, B.A., on June 22nd, 1884.
