CHARADRIIDJi. 



Young in first phmiarje. Above brown, with sandy-rufous edges 

 to tbe feathers ; under surface white, with scattered spots of dusky 

 brown on the breast ; throat whitish ; fore-neck tinged with sandy 

 buff. 



The small form of the Dunlin, Pelidna scliinzi of Brehm, is con- 

 sidered to be distinct by many authorities on Palsearctic ornithology. 

 I consider it to be a race of the Dunlin, but neither its smaller 

 size nor its supposed brighter coloration can be upheld as specific 

 characters, as they are approached in both cases in a series of true 

 P. alpina from other localities. 



Hab. Breeding in the northern portions of Europe and Asia, 

 somewhat further to the south in the latter continent, migrating 

 in winter to the Mediterranean Sea and even to the Gulf of Aden, 

 the shores of the Indian Ocean and the northern portions of the 

 Indian Peninsula as far east as Calcutta.
