Summary:
Encloses papers and drawings from Colonel [George] Montagu [(1753-1815)] for Linnean Society; Montagu wishes to know whether the sandpiper with red legs and dark body colour is a new species; Latham notes it is similar to 'Tringa maritima' of Norway and Iceland, and one brought from Quebec by Colonel Davies; observations on latter. Also Montagu's accounts of 'Motacilla sylvatica' and 'Alanda petrosa'.
Latham's recommendations for publication of these observations, considering recent publications on the same species.
