Hah. — Northern Hemisphere. Australia. New Zealand. South America (C<iB., 

 Maxim., andBuRM.; see SCL. & Salv. P. Z. S. 1873, 456.) 

 Not obtained by the Expeditions. 



This species is introduced on the authority of Prof. Snow, who states 

 that it is " com in on" in Kansas. It is also given by Mr. Wlieaton as 

 occurring in Ohio, and may not be rare on our larger inland waters, 

 though, like the two preceding species, it is more particularly maritime. 

 It occurs along the whole Atlaijtic coast during tlie migatious or in 

 winter, and is plentiful. Its breeding resorts are far beyond our limits. 



Note. — As completing an acconnt of the North American Sandpipers, I introduce 

 the following species, which are not known to occur in the Missouri region :
