330 THE ZOOLOGIST. 
Tringa temmincki (Leisler). Temminck’s Stint.—Macaulay 
records (Mid. Nat., 1882, p. 78), that a specimen of this bird was 
shot at Saddington Reservoir by Rev. H. Marriott, in March, 
1860. It was seen and identitied by Rev. A. Matthews, of Gumley. 
Tringa subarquata (Gildenst). Curlew Sandpiper.—Harley 
writes :—‘“‘ The appearance of this species of Tinga in the county, 
I am enabled to record on the testimony of a sportsman resident 
at Loughborough, who shot one on the banks of the Soar.” 
Calidris arenaria (Linn.). Sanderling.—Some years since, 
according to Harley, who examined them, three or four birds of 
this species were shot near the Reservoir in Charnwood Forest. 
Tringoides hypoleucus (Linn.). Common Sandpiper.—A 
summer visitor. Potter, in his ‘ History of Charnwood Forest,’ 
mentions Gracedieu and Groby Pool as localities for it. Harley 
says it bred on the banks of Groby Pool, as he learned from Mr. 
Chaplin, who found it there. Mr. Macaulay states that it breeds 
at Saddington Reservoir, but his only ground for this assertion 
is the fact of his having seen immature birds there during 
late summer. Mr. Bevans reports it as commonly occurring 
years ago in spring in the Abbey Meadow. I have received 
specimens from Saddington and Thornton Reservoirs, Wistow, 
Belgrave, and Aylestone. One which we shot at the latter place 
was merely wounded, and thereupon swam and dived with ease. 
It remains with us from the middle of April to the middle of 
September in ordinary seasons. 
Helodromas ochropus (Linn.). Green Sandpiper. —A spring and 
autumn visitor, remaining sometimes during the winter. It has 
been noticed on the Soar and Trent, at Groby Pool, the Wreke, 
Smeeton Brook, and Saddington Reservoir. A mounted specimen 
was presented to the Town Museum on April 7th, 1851, by Mr. 
Job Glover, “killed in Leicestershire,” presumably at Bagworth. 
Totanus glareola (Gmelin). Wood Sandpiper.—Harley charac- 
terises this species as more rare and shy than its congener H. 
ochropus. It was met with during the winter of 1852-3, and it 
occurred also at Groby Pool in 1840. 
T'otanus fuscus (Linn.). Spotted Redshank.—One in the 
collection of Mr. J. Whitaker, of Rainworth, Notts, is said to 
have been shot at Thornton Reservoir in September, 1880. 
Totanus canescens (Gmelin). Greenshank.—Has been shot 
on the banks of Groby Pool, and also at Swithland. Yarrell, on
