Algiers, Fob. 21 {Shdloj Coll.). Eill duller in colour, with more 

 bhick at the angle ; tarsi and toes reddish brown. 



YouiKj (February). Head streaked with greyish brown ; Ming- 

 coverts mottled with bi'own, mantle chietiy grey ; secondaries with 

 dark brown centres, broadly tipped and bordered with -white (as in 

 L. ichfJn/netus) ; primaries dark brown on both webs next the 

 shafts down to the tips and up the edges of the inner webs, the rest of 

 the inner webs white, except the outermost tjuill, in which the white 

 is isolated {as sJioivn in the mf, p. 182) ; tail white, with a subterminal 

 brown band : bill yellow at the base, the rest brownish black. In 

 the previous autumn the upper plumage is very dark and the pri- 

 maries are chietiy sooty brown, so that the bird might excusably be 

 mistaken for the young of L. atricilla. 



JS'cslling. Dull grey, tinged with buff, mottled and streaked with 

 dark brown on the upper surface ; grey below : bill comparatively 

 short and stout. 



I/ab. Black Sea, the entire Mediterranean, the coasts of Spain, 

 Portugal, and South-western France ; at times at the mouth of the 

 Somme, and in England. Occasionally inland, and said to have bred 

 in Hungary. Nests in marshes or among sand-banks.
