How far east its breeding-range extends it is difficult to determine,but it probably breeds on Banks-Land, as it passes Point Barrow in considerable numberson its autumn migration (Seebohm, Trans. Norf. and Norw. Nat. Soc. iv. p. 307). It alsooccurs abundantly on migration on the Pacific coast of the American continent (Coues,Ibis, 1866, p. 271), and inland in the valley of the Saskatchewan (where a few probablyremain to breed), and occasionally on the Atlantic coast. It appears to winter on the Pacific coast of Guatemala (Salvin, Ibis, 1S65, p. 191)and in other parts of Central EREUNETES TACZANOWSKI I. SIBERIAN SNIPE-BILLED SANDPIPER.
