Phalaropus. Phalara—Fringes. Pous—A foot. | Hyperboreus—Northern. 
Tuts kindred species is even yet more elegant than the 
preceding one. 
On the continent of Europe it occurs in France, Holland, 
Germany, Italy, and Switzerland, Sweden and Norway, and 
thence visits Russia, Lapland, the Ferroe Islands, Greenland, 
and Iceland. In Asia it is assigned to Siberia, and the borders 
of the Caspian Sea. In America it is stated to be well 
known in the United States, but as least numerously met 
with in their southern districts. Captain Sabine mentions his 
finding them at the North Georgian Islands. It advances 
northwards to the Arctic Regions. 
The earliest recorded occurrence of this bird as a British 
one, was in the island of Stronsay, one of the Orkneys, in 
the year 1769, as mentioned by Pennant. 
In 1808, eight others, six females and two males, were 
found in Sanday and North Ronaldshay. They are said to 
be more rare there than formerly. In Lincolnshire one was 
taken near Louth, by the Rev. William Marsden, during the 
winter of 1849-50; one also near that place the beginning 
of November, 1849, as the Rev. R. P. Alington wrote me 
word. In Surrey, it is said by Mr. Mansell to have occurred 
near Godalming. In Oxfordshire, one was found in an 
exhausted state on Shotover Hill, in the winter of 1834.
