 time such, for instance, as the following : 



The broad-billed sandpiper. 

 The pectoral sandpiper. 

 Bonaparte's sandpiper. 

 Bartram's sandpiper. 

 The wood sandpiper. 

 The solitary sandpiper. 

 The buff-breasted sandpiper.

Of the remaining sixteen birds, these only are 

 residents : 



The dunlin. 

 The redshank.

The ruff was formerly a resident, but is now 

 so rare that it has ceased to be regarded as such, 

 and is only to be met with from the spring to the 

 autumn, when on passage.
