CHARiDRIID.E. 



the breeding-plumage ; an indistinct white eyebrow ; ear-coverts 

 blackish ; lores with a dusky streak. 



Young. Similar to the adult in winter plumage, but having all 

 the feathers of the upper surface edged with sandy buff, with a 

 rufescent tinge on the sides of the face and eyebrow ; under surface 

 of body white, with a tinge of sandy buff on the lower throat and 

 fore-neck, the lateral feathers mottled with black bases, indicating 

 the position of the black band in the adults ; the sides of the lower 

 breast also tinged with sandy buff, where the chestnut band is 

 developed in the adult bird. 



Nestling. Feathers of the upper parts brown, largely margined 

 with fulvous; underparts white, with fulvous markings on the 

 breast ; the sides of the head and the lower part of the back and 

 rump covered with down of a dull sandy yellow, spotted with 

 black, and with fluffy down still adhering to other parts of the 

 body : bill dark brown ; feet brownish grey ( W. L. Buller). 



Hob. Nearly the whole of Australia, Tasmania, Norfolk Island, 

 and Lord Howe Island. Dr. Ramsay gives Southern New Guinea as 

 a habitat also, but I have not found any confirmation of this locality.
