332 PATAGONIAN EXPEDITIONS : ZOOLOGY 



The Curlew Sandpiper was not taken or observed by the naturalists of 

 the Princeton Expeditions. The only record from that region is a single 

 bird in the British Museum collected by Sir W. Burnett and Admiral 

 Fitzroy. The label on this bird, which is a female adult, is East Pata- 

 gonia; and it would appear that this nomad is of purely accidental 

 occurrence in the area under consideration.
