of the United States. 325 



Inhabits throughout North America : very common during 

 summer and autumn in the middle states. Hardly differing 

 from the preceding but by its smaller size : exceedingly like 

 several European Totani, from each and all of which, how- 

 ever, the above phrase distinguishes it. 



262. Totanus bartramius, Temm. Rump black ; tail very 

 long, tapering, reaching much beyond the wings ! Bill very 

 short. 



Bartram's Sandpiper, Tringa bartramia, Wils. Am. Orn. 

 vii. p. e3.pl. 59. jig. 2. 



Inhabits North and South America : an accidental visitant 

 in northern and western Europe : common during summer, 

 on the plains near the sea coast of New-Jersey and Long 

 Island, and in great numbers on the extensive prairies beyond 

 the Mississippi. 



263. Totanus chloropygius, Vieill. Brown-olive, spotted with 

 white ; rump, and middle tail feathers uniform with the rest ; 

 tail white, barred with broad, regular, blackish bands; quills 

 and their shafts entirely black. 



Solitary Sandpiper, Tringa solitaria, Wils. Am. Orn. vii. 

 p. 53. pi. 58. fig. 3. 



Inhabits the United States, during summer in the mountains 

 where it breeds ; during winter in the plains and shores : 

 not rare, but by no means numerous in autumn in the mid- 

 dle states. Solitary. Allied to T. Glareola of Europe, but 

 totally distinct. 



264. Totanus macularius, Temm. Olive-brown, waved with 

 blackish ; rump and tail olive-brown ; three outer tail feathers 

 white, barred with black ; quills black, with a white spot on 

 the inner web. 



Adult, beneath white, with roundish black spots ; bill 

 orange beneath. 



Young, beneath pure white ; wing coverts undulated with 

 rufous lines ; bill wholly blackish.
