Erman's Sandpiper may always be distinguished from every other Totaniis except the Specific 

 Willet {T. semijaalmatus) by having the middle toe united at the base with both the other toes ° ^'^^^ ®^^' 

 by a well-developed web ^. Its white lower bach and white axillaries prevent its being 

 confused with the Willet, and prove its much closer relationship to the Greenshank. 



Erman's Sandpiper has been obtained in summer on the north-west shores of the Sea Geographi- 

 of Okhotsk, on the east coast of Kamtschatka, and on Behring Island. In winter it is ^ion. 

 only known from Burma.
