Or this species only one specimen was ever seen by Wilson, 

 and that was preserved in Trowbridge's Museum, at Albany, 

 in the state of New York. On referring to Wilson's Journal, 

 I found an account of the bird, there called a Tringa, written 

 with a lead pencil, but so scrawled and obscured, that parts of 

 the writing were not legible. I wrote to Mr. Trowbridge, so- 

 liciting a particular description, but no answer was returned. 

 However, having had the good fortune, since publishing the 

 first edition, of examining a fine recent specimen of this rare 

 bird, I hope I shall be enabled to fix the species by such cha- 

 racters, as will prevent any ornithologist in future from con- 

 founding it with the species which follows; two birds which,
