NATURAL HISTORY OF PRINCE ALBERT LAND. 7 
T. Schinzit of Sw. and Rich., F. B. A. ii. 1831, 384, is Bonaparte’s 
Sandpiper, 7’. fuscicollis, Vieillot; and a reference to Mr. Dresser’s 
‘Birds of Europe’ and Dr. Elliott Coues’ ‘Birds of the North- 
West’ show that little or nothing is known about its breeding 
_ haunts. It is therefore interesting to find that Mr. Anderson 
obtained two males at Winter Cove, June 9th, 1852; a female, 
June 10th of the same year, and further that he found this species 
breeding in the same locality, from whence he brought two eggs 
to England. 
T. pusillan—Two specimens of the Least Sandpiper were 
procured at Winter Cove, June 28th and July 6th, 1852, both 
being males. The eggs were found at Cambridge Bay in 1853. 
T. pectoralis?—Under this name Mr. Anderson records the 
capture of two Sandpipers, males, on June 10th, 1852, at Winter 
Cove. In the absence of the specimens, however, it is not 
possible to say whether the species was correctly identified or not. 
Mr. Anderson mentions that the eggs of his 7’. pectoralis were 
found at Winter Cove in 1852. 
Tringa sp.?—An unidentified Sandpiper was obtained at Winter 
Cove in June, 1852. 
T. rufescens.—The Buff-Breasted Sandpiper was observed at 
Winter Cove, where two males and a female were procured, 
June 11th, 1852. 
T. canutus—A Knot, ascertained to be a female bird, 
was shot at Cambridge Bay, July 9th, 1853. 
T. maritima.—A male Purple Sandpiper was obtained at 
Cambridge Bay, June 10th, 1853. 
T. douglasii.—Two male Stilt Sandpipers were procured at 
Cambridge Bay, June 10th, 1853. 
Phalaropus hyperboreus.—Two males and a female Red-necked 
Phalarope were procured at Winter Cove, June 15th, 1852. It was 
found breeding at Cambridge Bay, and the eggs were taken. 
Sterna arctica.—Observed in Prince Albert Land in 1851-52, 
and three males and a female obtained at Cambridge Bay in 
July, 1853. 
Larus glaucus.—This Gull was found breeding at Cambridge 
Bay in June, 1858, and a specimen was preserved. 
L. argentatus and L. argentatoides are recorded by Mr. Ander- 
son as two distinct species visiting Prince Albert Land. A female 
specimen of L. argentatoides was obtained June 11th, 1852, at
