BRITISH BIRDS. 



The figure and description of this bird were 

 taken from a specimen sent by the late Rev. J. 

 Davies, of Trinity College, Cambridge : on com- 

 paring it with that figured in the Planches En- 

 lummees, under the title of Le Chevalier raye, and 

 the Striated Sandpiper of Pennant and Latham, 

 the difference was so slight, that there is no doubt 

 of its being the same species ; and Temminck 

 seems to be decidedly of this opinion.
