part retire to other countries: the TVhimhrel 

 breeds in the Grampian Hills, in the neighbor- 

 hood of Iiwercauld. 



The Woodcock breeds in the moist woods of 

 Szveden, and other cold countries. Some Snipes 

 breed here, as does the Redshank, but we believe 

 the greatest part retire elsewhere; as do every 

 other species of this genus. 



The Lapwing continues here the whole year; 

 the Ruff hree^^ here, but retires in winter; the 

 common Sandpiper breeds in this country, and 

 resides here. All the others absent themselves 

 during summer. 



The long legged Plover and Sanderlifig visit 

 us only in winter; the Dottrel appears in spring 

 and in autumn, yet what is very singular we do 

 not find it breeds in South Britain. The Oyster- 

 catcher lives with us the whole year. The 

 Ringed Plover breeds in Engla?id ; the Golden 

 on the mountains of the North of England, and 

 on the Grampian Hills. 



We must here remark, that every species of 

 the genera of Curlezos, Woodcocks, Sandpipers 

 and Plovers,^ that forsake us in the spring, 



* Mr. Ekmarck speaks thus of the retreat of the whole tribe 

 of cloven footed water fowl out of his country (Sweden) at the 

 approach of winter; and Mr. Klein gives much the same account 

 of those of Poland and Prussia.
