THE species before us is frequent in Europe, throughout 

 Scandinavia, in Lapland and Norway and other parts, and 

 Kamtschatka, and also visits the Ferroe Islands, Greenland, 

 and Iceland: it is known likewise in France and Italy. In 

 Asia it is plentiful in Sumatra, Singapore, Java, Timor, and 

 Japan, India and Asia Minor; and specimens have also been 

 received from the northern and southern parts of Africa. 



The Common Sandpiper is generally known throughout 

 this country from Cornwall, Devonshire, Dorsetshire, Hamp- 

 shire, Kent, Essex, Cambridgeshire, and Oxfordshire, where 

 small parties occasionally pass the summer near Brighthampton, 

 Witney, Mr. Stone writes me word, to Norfolk, Durham, 

 and Northumberland, and from Wales to Scotland, being 

 plentiful on the inland lakes Loch Awe and others, in 

 Caithnesshire, Sutherlandshire, and elsewhere. 



In Yorkshire, localities for it are, among others, the 

 neighbourhood of Sheffield, Hebden Bridge, Halifax, Barnsley, 

 Huddersfield, and Burlington. 



In Orkney it has been observed in several islands, as 

 Sanday and Hoy, and also on various parts of the mainland. 

 It appears, however, to be but an occasional visitant there. 



In Ireland it is a regular visitor in the summer.
