The diminutive Stint, named after M. Temminck, is still 

 smaller in size tlian the Little Stint last described, and is the 

 smallest of the British Sandpipers ; it is also much more rare 

 than the Little Stint, and somewhat different in its habits, 

 frequenting the borders of rivers and fresh-water lakes at a 

 distance from the coast, like our Common Sandpiper T. luj- 

 poleiicos, but is sometimes found on the sandy or muddy 

 creeks and shores of the sea.
