BIRDS OF NORTH AND MIDDLE AMERICA. 193 
Breeding on barren grounds or tundra of arctic North America, 
chiefly from lower Anderson River Valley, Mackenzie, to central Kee- 
watin (but probably also in parts of Yukon Valley and on east side 
of Hudson Bay north to Hudson Strait), northward, at least casually, 
to Cumberland Sound (Cape Edwards), west to Port Clarence, Alaska; 
migrating southward over eastern North America (usually in autumn 
along Atlantic Coast, in spring through Mississippi Valley), to southern 
South America as far as Falkland Islands (Mare Harbor; Port 
Louis; San Salvador Bay), Straits of Magellan, Tierra del Fuego, 
Patagonia (Chubut and Port Desire), and Chile (Valparaiso; Ancid; 
Chiloe Island); no record for Mexico nor Central America, few for 
northern South America (Laguna de Valéncia, Venezuela; Trinidad), 
and in West Indies only Cuba, Guadeloupe, and Barbados; accidental 
in Bermudas (one specimen, 1875).
