* A specimen of the Spotted Sandpiper in my collection, purchased 
some years since of Mr. H. Burton, was said to have been shot, with 
another, out of a small flock of Sandpipers, on the Kentish coast, by 
a man from whom he was in the habit of buying freshly killed birds ; 
but I have been unable to obtain any further particulars. The 
price asked and given for it (only two or three shillings) seemed to 
indicate an ignorance of its value as a British killed specimen, and 
to preclude the notion of attempted imposition.

(1819). Tringa pectoralis, Say, Long’s Exped. i. p. 171 (1823). 
t In the ‘ Zoologist’ for 1849 (p. 2392), Mr. J. H. Gurney re- 
corded a specimen of this Sandpiper as having been shot on the 
Denes at Yarmouth in September 1848; but in a subsequent note 
in the same journal he states that he had been imposed upon, and 
that the skin was a foreign one.
