GREY PHALAROPE. 107 
In the intermediate stages of plumage between that of the 
summer and that assumed in the winter, this bird, always 
pretty, is then particularly so—the red and grey liveries more 
or less predominating. There are divers varieties partaking 
more or less of the character of the one or the other, according 
to the season; ‘que nune prescribere longum.’
