Mr. Jenyns on the Ornithology of Cambridgeshire. 
Genus XLII. TOTANUS, Bechst. 
T. fuscus, Temm. Man. d@’Ornith. p. 639. 
I insert this species with considerable hesitation. According to 
Temminck it is synonymous with the Scolopax Cantabrigiensis 
of Gmelin and Latham, and the Cambridge Godwit of Pennant, 
(Brit. Zool. Vol. II. p. 447.) which was originally described by 
this last Author from a stuffed specimen shot in the vicinity of 
Cambridge. Since that time it appears to have been a great 
question whether the Cambridge Godwit was admissible as a 
distinct species. Some have supposed it to be the same with 
the Greenshank, whilst Montagu, in his Supplement to the Orni- 
thological Dictionary, suspects it to be only the young of the 
Redshank. Where the truth lies I shall not presume to decide 
at present.

REDsHANK.—These birds were formerly plentiful in the fens, 
particularly during the summer months, but are rarely met with 
now. Bewick has figured a specimen which had been sent him 
from Cambridge. : 
T. ochropus, Temm. Man. d’Ornith. p. 651. 
GREEN SANDPIPER.—This is a very rare species. The only 
specimen that ever came under my observation was shot in the 
Isle of Ely between Downham and the Hundred-foot River, on 
the 28th of August, 1821. 
T. Hypoleucos,.Temm. Man. d@ Ornith. p. 657. 
Common SANppireR.—These birds are occasionally met with on 
the banks of the river below Cambridge. 
T. Glottis, Temm. Man. d’Ornith. p. 659. 
GreENsHANK.—This is another species which, since the drainage 
of the greater part of our fens, has» become very rare in Cam- 
bridgeshire.. There is a specimen, however, in the collection of 
Dr. Thackeray which was killed in the county.
