This Sandpiper appears to inhabit divers countries as far 
north as the Arctic circle, Norway, Lapland, Sweden, and 
others; it is seen also in France, Italy, and Malta; and has 
been brought from Africa, from the Cape of Good Hope; and 
from Asia—from India and Java. It has likewise been pro¬ 
cured frofii Chili, in America; and, it is said, from the Islands 
of the Pacific Ocean.

One was shot, as recorded in the ‘Zoologist,’ page 1769, at 
Yarmouth, Norfolk, in April, 1847; one at Campsall, near 
Doncaster, Yorkshire; one at Ditton Marsh, in Surrey; a 
pair were observed on Weald Common, near Epping, Essex, 
in May, 1840; and one of them, the female, was secured. 
Other individuals have been met with in Cambridgeshire, 
Lincolnshire, Suffolk, and Norfolk. In that county it occurs 
occasionally at the beginning and end of summer; three 
young ones, a male and two females, were shot near Yarmouth, 
on the 22nd. of April, 1852. Two were shot near Beach- 
amwell, one an old female, the other a young bird which 
had not entirely lost its down, in the spring of 1833. In 
Northumberland one at Ellingham, in the month of September, 
1828; and a second at Prestwick Carr, in 1830. In Durham,
