has procured it at Nagasaki, where the examples obtained by the 

 Siebold Expedition were probably also procured (Temminck and 

 Schlegel, Fauna Japonica, Aves, p. 110). 



The Green Sandpiper breeds in the subarctic regions of the Old 

 "Worlds visiting the British Islands as well as Japan on its migrations.

(TEREK SANDPIPER.) 



Scolopax terek, Latham, Index Orn. ii. p. 724 (1790). 



The Terek Sandpiper has no white on the primaries or rump, a 

 great deal of white on the secondaries, and nothing but white on the 

 axillaries. Its beak is recurved like that of the Greenshank. 



Figures : Dresser, Birds of Europe, viii. pi. 572. 



The Terek Sandpiper is probably a spring and autumn visitor on 

 migration to all the Japanese Islands, though it has not yet been 

 recorded from Yezzo. It is occasionally found in the Yokohama 

 market (Seebohra, Ibis, 1884, p. 33), whence I have two examples in 

 the Pryer collection, and a third collected by Mr. Owston. 



The Terek Sandpiper breeds in the Arctic Regions from Archangel 

 to Kamtschatka, but is not known to have visited the British 

 Islands. 



329. TOTANUS HYPOLEUCUS. 



(COMMON SANDPIPER.) 



Tringa hypoUucos, Linneus, Syst. Nat. i. p. 260 (1766). 



The Common Sandpiper has white axillaries, large patches of 

 white on most of the primaries and secondaries, but no white on the 

 rump or upper tail-coverts. 



Figures : Dresser, Birds of Europe, viii. pi. 563. 



The Common Sandpiper is probably a summer visitor to Yezzo, 

 and a resident in the more southerly Japanese Islands. It has been 

 seen on Eturop, the most southerly of the Kuriles (Blakiston and 

 Pryer, Trans. As. Soc. Japan, 1882, p. 110), and there are several 

 examples in the Swinhoe collection from Hakodadi (Swinhoe, Ibis,
