Mr. Dresser states ('iJirds of luirope/' Part IX) that he has 

 a specimen of Charadyius fitlvus in his collection "which 

 was taken at sea in hit. 69^' 30', N. long. 173*^ 20' li., many 

 miles northwest of Point Harrow," and " much nearer to the 

 American than to the Asiatic coast." He also states that 

 "Mr. Pickering, when at sea on the I3ih of November, be- 

 tween the Sandwich Islands and California, procured speci- 

 mens which were evidently migrating."
