MR. EYTON in his Fauna of Shropshire, says, that a 

 specimen of this Sandpiper killed near Stoke Heath is in 

 the collection of Sir Rowland Hill. The specimen was 

 lent to Mr. Gould, who says, " We have compared the 

 individual from which our figure is taken, with others 

 killed in America, between which we could discover no 

 difference ; its shorter bill and white rump will at all times 

 serve to distinguish it from the other European members of 

 the group." 



Another example in the Museum at Belfast, there is 

 reason to believe, was killed in Ireland.
