Tringa alpina on Long Island, New York. — On Sept. 15, 1S92, I secured 
a European Dunlin at Shinnecock Bay. During a week’s trip I secured 
only one T. a. pacified. The specimen was identified through the kind- 
ness of Mr. F. M. Chapman of the American Museum of Natural History. 
Coues says of this species, “A straggler to Greenland”; Ridgway, “Acci

Its occurrence in the United States has heretofore seemed doubtful, —
