Reading edition
The Esquimaux Curlew of Pennant ("Arct. Zool.," ii. p. 461, 1785) is really the Hudsonian Curlew, Numenius hudsonicus (Latham), and Hearne of course follows Pennant in this error. It is still a common species on the west coast of Hudson Bay. The smaller one, which is the real Eskimo Curlew, Numenius borealis (Forster), was formerly very abundant, but is now, unhappily, nearly or quite extinct.
