 closely resembles the Wood Sandpiper {T. glareola), but has the

 feather in the tail is broadly barred with black across hoth webs. 



t In the ' Zoologist ' for 1864, p. 9118, Mr. Button, of Eastbourne, 

 reported his possession of a specimen of Bartram's Sandpiper, shot 

 at Newhaven. On examining this bird, however, I found it to be a 

 Ruff {Machetes jjugnax) in autumn plumage.
