512 Mr. J. Lewis Bonhote on Birds 



One of the commonest of the summer migrants. My 

 specimens are true V. calidris, and other specimens from the 

 Bahamas in the British Museum are also V. calidris. In 

 V. barbutulus the colour of the crown is sharply defined from 

 that of the back, which part is much brighter than in the 

 true V. calidris. In V. calidris, however, the difference in 

 colour between the back and the crown is distinguishable. 

 Mr. Cory's description (B. Bahamas, p. 82) might apply to 

 either species, although I am inclined to think he meant it 

 for the true V. barbatulus.

May be readily distinguished from the former species, which 

 it closely resembles, by the absence of the maxillary line.
