' Corwin,' p. 85). It has been recorded inland in Siberia north of Yakutsk (Taczanowski, 

 Journ. Orn. 1873, p. 1 1 2), and from both the north and central islands of Japan (Seebohm, 

 Ibis, 1884, p. 33). How far east its breeding-range extends it is difficult to determine, 

 but it probably breeds on Banks-Land, as it passes Point Barrow in considerable numbers 

 on its autumn migration (Seebohm, Trans. Norf. and Norw. Nat. Soc. iv. p. 307). It also 

 occurs abundantly on migration on the Pacific coast of the American continent (Coues, 

 Ibis, 1866, p. 271), and inland in the valley of the Saskatchewan (where a few probably 

 remain to breed), and occasionally on the Atlantic coast. 



It appears to winter on the Pacific coast of Guatemala (Salvin, Ibis, 1S65, p. 191) 

 and in other parts of Central America.
