By giving a representation of this Phalarope, besides that we add a 

 species to the American Ornithology, we make good our promise of 

 settling an important question. A glance at our figure of the Hyper- 

 borean Phalarope, here brought into comparison with the young Wil- 

 son's Phalarope, will at once evince the incorrectness of Mr. Ord's 

 refined distinctions, and ultimate decision that they were the same bird. 

 This comparison shows more conclusively than any argument to be 

 found in our respective writings on this subject, what are the real facts. 

 We have previously observed, when illustrating the former species, that 

 they even differ subgenerically, and that this one alone ought to form 

 the genus Lohipes of Cuvier. 



The Lohijjes of Cuvier, since called by the recent Engli.^h writers 

 Lobefoot, and on which Vieillot imposed the name of Phalaropus, is 

 formed in our opinion of this single species, notwithsfanding that Cuvier 

 and some English authors include the P. unhonii in it on account of its 

 bill being similar. But the feet are too different to allow of such a
