The species before us is frequent in Europe, throughout 
Scandinavia, in Lapland and Norway and other parts, and 
Kamtschatka, and also visits the Perroe Islands, Greenland, 
and Iceland: it is known likewise in France and Italy. In 
Asia it is plentiful in Sumatra, Singapore, Java, Timor, and 
Japan, India and Asia Minor; and specimens have also been 
received from the northern and southern parts of Africa. 
The Common Sandpiper is generally known throughout 
this country—from Cornwall, Devonshire, Dorsetshire, Hamp¬ 
shire, Kent, Essex, Cambridgeshire, and Oxfordshire, where 
small parties occasionally pass the summer near Brighthampton, 
Witney, Mr. Stone writes me word, to Norfolk, Durham, 
and Northumberland, and from Wales to Scotland, being 
plentiful on the inland lakes—Loch Awe and others, in 
Caithnesshire, Sutherlandshire, and elsewhere. 
In Yorkshire, localities for it are, among others, the 
neighbourhood of Sheffield, Hebden Bridge, Halifax, Barnsley, 
Huddersfield, and Burlington. 
In Orkney it has been observed in several islands, as 
Sanday and Hoy, and also on various parts of the mainland. 
It appears, however, to be but an occasional visitant there. 
In Ireland it is a regular visitor in the summer.
