Kaynor South, L. I., May 24, 1833, and should be in- 

 cluded in this list, although I am not aware that any one 

 has seen or heard of any specimens except the type upon 

 which the species was based. Mr. Lawrence gives it a 

 place in his list. Cf. JBaird, B. N. A., p. 716, and Ooues, 

 Pr. A. N. S. Philad., 1861, p. 202. 



An extralimital species of Sandpiper, Tringa platy- 

 rJiyncha, now Eurinorliynchus pygmoeus, is inserted by 

 Peabody (p. 367) in the Massachusetts list, on the author- 

 ity of Mr. S. Cabot, Jr., "who procured a specimen at 

 Nahant." If this instance be authentic, it is the only one 

 on record of the occurrence of the species in ^orth 

 America.
