THIS bird is found in Europe, in Iceland, the Ferroe Islands, 

 Lapland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and the Islands of the 

 Baltic Sea; also in Holland, Germany, Italy, Hungary, Greece, 

 and Spain. In Asia it appertains to Persia, Siberia, and Japan, 

 and is said also to belong to North America, about Hudson's 

 Bay, but the Prince of Canino, Lucien Buonaparte, doubts this; 

 and again to Africa, in which latter it is well known and 

 plentiful. With us it is indigenous, but local. 



Redshanks are common in Lincolnshire and Suffolk, and 

 are also met with in Dorsetshire, Devonshire, and Cornwall, 

 near Gwyllyn Vase and other places, but rarely; Kent, Durham, 

 Northumberland, and Cumberland. In Norfolk they are also 

 frequent throughout the year, their numbers" somewhat increased 

 in spring and autumn by migratory birds on their way to the 

 north or the south. In Surrey one was met with near 

 Godalming. In Yorkshire^ they breed on Thome Moor, also 

 near Doncaster, and on Strensall Common, near York. Like- 

 wise, though rarely, near Leeds and Huddersfield. They used 

 to be so on the stream near Driffield, but are not seen there 

 now. One was killed at Sessay, near York, in the summer of 

 1853, as Edward D. Swarbreck, Esq., of Sowerby, has informed
