Female in juvenal plumage, No. 171017, U.S.N.M.; Pulo Mata, 

 August 29, 1899. Length, 184.5 mm. 



Immature male, No. 171034, U.S.N.M., is practically adult except 

 for the incompleteness of the cinnamon breast-band and collar, and 

 the brown, black, and white mottled condition of the mask. The 

 other immature male (No. 171035, U.S.N.M.), is identical with the 

 adult female except for the presence of many dusky feathers on the 

 white forehead. 



The male in juvenal plumage (No. 171018) is apparently just like 

 the three juvenal females, and has buffy-suffused lower parts and 

 buffy-edged upper parts. 



The specific name of this species must apparently undergo another 

 change, as already indicated by Mr. G. M. Mathews, 1 and the bird 

 now become Cirrepidesmus atrifrons (Wagler) ; since the Charadrius 

 inconspicuus of Wagler, 2 the applicability of which was pointed out 

 by the present writer some time ago 3 is posterior to the Charadrius 

 atrifrons of Wagler, 4 based evidently on the same species. The use 

 of the generic term Cirrepidesmus Bonaparte for this bird is not an 

 innovation here. 5

One male, No. 171067, U.S.N.M., from Pulo Jimaja, September 24, 

 1899. Length, 276.5 mm. "Iris dark brown; bill black, pale red- 

 dish brown at base; feet orange; claws black." This was obtained 

 in an open place in a mangrove swamp. 



PISOBIA RUFICOLLIS (Pallas). 



Trynga ruficollis Pallas, Reis. Versch. Prov. Russ. Reichs, vol. 3, 1776, p. 700 

 (Dauria, Siberia). 



Two specimens in autumn plumage: 



Male, probably immature, No. 171013, U.S.N .M.; Pulo Mata, 

 August 29, 1899. Length, 162 mm. 



Adult male, No. 171012, U.S.N.M.: Pulo Mata, August 29, 1899. 

 Length, 159 mm. 



Specimens of this species in autumn plumage are very difficult to 

 distinguish with certainty from examples of Pisobia minuta in cor- 

 responding state, but they are usually paler above, with upper tail- 

 coverts more blackish, and have the lower surface more purely 

 white, the breast less tinged with ashy.
