wings and tail as in the summer plumage, but the bars lighter brown 

 and not so black, and those on the outer tail-feathers considerably 

 broken up ; lower back, rump, and upper tail- coverts pure white, with 

 a few arrowhead-shaped markings and bars, more distinct on the 

 upper tail- coverts ; bead and neck light ashy brown, streaked with 

 lines of darker brown, the sides of the face speckled with light 

 brown ; under surface of body pure white, with a few streaks of 

 brown on the lower throat, sides of breast, and sides of body, where 

 the streaks take the form of arrowhead-shaped markings ; on the 

 chest a few obsolete dusky cross-bars ; axillaries and under wing- 

 coverts white, the former with twin-spots of blackish brown ; the 

 centre tail-feathers ashy brown with a few remains of darker brown 

 mottlings, the rest of the feathers notched and barred with white 

 on the inner webs, and usually uniform on the outer webs. 



Young birds. Resemble the adults in winter plumage, but are 

 much more fulvescent, and especially of an ashy-fulvous shade over 

 the lower throat and chest, and more decidedly fulvous on the sides 

 •of the body. The whole of the upper surface is mottled with rufous 

 buff in the shape of tawny notches to most of the feathers, and the 

 whole of the tail is regularly banded across with dusky brown and 

 buffy whitish, the bands being about seven in number. 



Hub. Occurs throughout Europe on passage : breeds on the tundra 

 above the limit of forest-growth from Lapland to the Tenesei, and 

 migrates south to winter in Sind, the countries of the Mediter- 

 ranean, and even extends to Senegambia, but does not cross the 

 Equator. Accidental on the Canary Islands.
