Bartrams Sandpiper may always be recognized by the conspicuous bars on the innerweds of its primaries, no other Totanus having more than indications of them. Its wedge-shaped tail is shared by the Common Sandpiper (T. hypoleucus) and by its Americanrepresentative the Spotted Sandpiper (T. macularius), both of which also resemble it inthe colour of their eggs. Bartrams Sandpiper breeds in the southern provinces of British North America andin the northern portion of the United States. It migrates southwards on the approach ofwinter in great numbers, both on the Atlantic coast and along the inland fly-lines, 3 c 378 TOTANUS.

It is possible that its breeding-range may extend much further north, as it has beenobtained nearly as far north as the Arctic Circle in Alaska. It appears occasionally towander very far from its ordinary winter-quarters during migration. There is no recordof its occurrence on the Pacific coast of North America, but it has been obtained on theBermuda Islands (Reid, Zoologist, 1877, p. 478), in Australia, and in Italy (Giglioli, Ibis,1881, p. 184), Malta (Wright, Ibis, 1869, p. 247), Holla
