had flown up from the same place before 
I cannot say, but I think they were as 
they were flying in the same direction. 
Taking all things into consideration it 
seems to me probable that the Green 
Sandpiper bred with us _ last year, 
although I have no more positive proof 
of it. 
CURLEW SANDPIPER, 
Tringa subarquata. 
One of these birds was killed on the 
Eppynt Hills in the month of September 
1892 by Capt. Hotchkis. He kindly sent 
it me and I had it stuffed. It is now 
in Mr. A. Crawshay’s collection. 
PURPLE SANDPIPER, 
Tringa maritima. 
A specimen of this little wader was 
picked up dead under the telegraph wires 
on the railway between Brecon and 
Talyllyn in the year 1887. The finder 
had it stuffed and brought it to me for 
identification. 
COMMON SANDPIPER, 
Tringotdes hypoleucus. 
As its name denotes, is most common
