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

 Willet (T. semipahnatus) by having the middle toe united at the base with both the other toes c aracters - 

 by a well-developed web 1 . Its white lower back 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 

 only known from Burma.
