SPOTTED SANDPIPER, 
This bird h the Tringa Maculata, of Lin- 
naeus ; the Tardus Aquaticus, or Water- 
7"hrush, of Brisson, and of Bufron ; the 
Spotted Tringa., of Edwards ; and the Spotted 
Sandpiper, of Pennant, Latham, &;c= As the 
"Tringa is, in fact, the Sandpiper, we have not, 
on this occasion, adopted the name of Edwards 
with his figure. 
The bird represented was shot near Philadel- 
phia, by Mr. Bartram ; who sent it to Edwatds, 
and informed him that these birds come to 
Pennsylvania, from the South, in April, and 
continue there the greatest part of the summer. 
Mr. Bartram also shot a Hen bird, which he 
opened, ana found in her pretty large eggs: 
but," says Edwards, by accident, he lost 
the Hen ; so that the bird he sent me is the 
Cock." 
Edwards's description is as follows — -'^ The 
1)111 is straight ; dusky towards the point, and 
£esb.»
