THIS Sandpiper appears to inhabit divers countries as far 

 north as the Arctic circle, Norway, Lapland, Sweden, and 

 others; it is seen also in France, Italy, and Malta; and has 

 been brought from Africa, from the Cape of Good Hope; and 

 from Asia from India and Java. It has likewise been pro- 

 cured from Chili, in America; and, it is said, from the Islands 

 of the Pacific Ocean. 



Mr. William Felkin, Junior, of Carrington, near Nottingham, 

 has obligingly informed me of the occurrence of this bird in 

 Nottingham meadows; and also on the Trent near that town. 

 One was shot, as recorded in the 'Zoologist,' page 1769, at 

 Yarmouth, Norfolk, in April, 1847; one at Campsall, near 

 Doncaster, Yorkshire; one at Ditton Marsh, in Surrey; a 

 pair were observed on Weald Common, near Epping, Essex, 

 in May, 1840; and one of them, the female, was secured. 



Other individuals have been met with in Cambridgeshire, 

 Lincolnshire, Suffolk, and Norfolk. In that county it occurs 

 occasionally at the beginning and end of summer; three 

 young ones, a male and two females, were shot near Yarmouth, 

 on the 22nd. of April, 1852. Two were shot near Beach- 

 amwell, one an old female, the other a young bird which 

 had not entirely lost its down, in the spring of 1833. In 

 Northumberland one at Ellingham, in the month of September, 

 182S ; and a second at Prestvvick Carr, in 1830. In Durham,
