376 THE ZOOLOGIST. 
1839 (Merriam, l.c., cf. Dr. Ayres). Said to have been found 
breeding in Greenland [?] (Brewer, Bull. Nutt. Orn. Club, vol. iv., 
1678, p- 190). Professor Reinhardt, however, informs me this is 
‘certainly a mistake, the bird has never been obtained in Groove 
land,” &c. (Reinhardt, in Lit.). 
32. Machetes pugnax (Linn.), Rail. 1 fasenetoage tee oe 
specimen recorded (Ann. Nat., vol. vi., p. 306). One, a young 
male, taken at Chatham, Mass., Sept. llth, 1880 (‘ Forest and 
Stream,’ Oct. 7th, 1880, p. 186). Maine:—A female taken at 
Upton, in that State, Sept. 8th, 1874 (Brewer, Bull. Nutt. Orn. 
Club, vol.i., 1876, p.19). Dr. Coues, quoting Broadman, mentions 
one or two occurrences at Calais (Proc. Essex Inst., vol. v., 1867). 
Long Island, N. Y.:—Accidental (Lawrence, Ann. N. Y. Lye. 
N.H.V., 1852, p. 220). Ohio:—A male taken at the Licking 
Reservoir, about thirty miles east of Columbus (Wheaton, Bull. 
Nutt. Orn. Club, vol. ii., 1877, p. 83). 
33. T'otanus ochropus (Linn.), Green Sandpiper.— One specimen 
was received by Mr. Harting, in 1873, in a small collection from 
Halifax, Nova Scotia (Brewer, Bull. Nutt. Orn. Club, vol. iii., 
1878, p. 49). 
34. Totanus glottis (Linn.), Greenshank.—Audubon obtained 
three specimens at Sand Key, Florida, May 28th, 1832 (Birds of 
America, vol. v. p. 821). Inhabits the province of New York [?] 
(Pennant, ‘ Arctic Zoology,’ vol. ii., Birds, p. 469). Dr. Elliott 
Coues states (Key, N.A. Birds, p. 259) that ‘“‘ Audubon’s specimen 
is absolutely identical with European ones.” 
35. Limosa egocephala (Linn.), Black-tailed Godwit.—F abricius 
mentions that he had seen a single specimen from Greenland, and 
since 1820 one is said to have been obtained at Godthaab, South 
Greenland, and to have been sent to the Royal Museum, but the 
specimen is not extant (Reinhardt, ‘ Ibis,’ 1861). 
36. Nwnenius pheopus (Linn.), Whimbrel.— Prof. Reinhardt 
says that he has seen five or six specimens, received from all 
parts of Greenland, and that formerly six others were sent from 
there (Reinhardt, ‘ Ibis,’ 1861). He tells me there were ‘‘ perhaps 
more; it is not very rare” (Reinhardt, in lit.). 
37. Hydrochelidon hybrida (Pall.), Whiskered Tern.— One 
from the Barbadoes is in the British Museum, presented by 
Sir Robert Stromberg (Howard Saunders, Proc. Zool. Soc., 1876, 
p- 641).
