Arrives about the same time, and frequents the same localities, as the 
preceding species. I shot one as late as the 23d December, probably a 
straggler left behind. I also obtained a solitary example on its north- 
ward flight on the 29th April, 1875, at Peniston’s Pond.

Europe. (Coues.) 
Not uncommon in September and October. The first I met with was 
feeding with a small flock of Semipalmated Sandpipers at Peniston’s 
Pond, on August 3, 1874. It was tolerably abundant till towards the 
end of October, being usually found singly. Colonel Wedderburn says 
of this species (Nat. in B., p. 44): “On the 9th October, 1849, they ap- 
peared suddenly in thousands, particularly at St. George’s, after a 
heavy gale of wind; the parade ground at that place was swarming 
with them, and I think Colonel Drummond killed some thirty or forty 
couple before breakfast; but, with the exception of a few stragglers, 
they were all gone by the following day.”

Tringa fuscicollis, Vieil., Dress.
