Op this species only one specimen was ever seen by Wilson, 
and that was preserved in Trowbridge’s Museum, at Albany, 
in the state of New York. On referring to Wilson’s Journal, 
j found an account of the bird, there called a Tringa, written 
with a lead pencil, but so scrawled and obscured, that parts of 
the writing were not legible. I wrote to Mr. Trowbridge, so- 
liciting a particular description, but no answer was returned. 
However, having had the good fortune, since publishing the 
first edition, of examining a fine recent specimen of this rare 
bird, I hope I shall be enabled to fix the species by such cha- 
racters, as will prevent any ornithologist in future from con- 
founding it with the species which follows; two birds which.
