Hah. Luzon, 7th of February : bill black ; feet yellowish grey ; claws black (Meyer). 



A single example of a long-toed Tringa, in winter plumage, was obtained in Luzon, wliich 

 I do not doubt belongs to this species. The outer rectrices are brownish grey, and not pure 

 white, and the shaft of the first primary only is white. In dimensions it agrees with a Lake- 

 Baikal example in red summer plumage. The general ground-colour of the upper plumage is 

 greyish brown, most of the feathers being largely centred with dark brown ; from the base of Tr. Z. S. ix. 

 the bill to the eye an unspotted bald albescent stripe, which passes over the eye and loses itself 

 above the ear-coverts. Under plumage white, the sides of the breast clothed by cinereous 

 feathers with small brown centres. My Lake-Baikal example also has the sides of the breast 

 similarly marked, only that the rufous is mixed with the cinereous. The middle toe, including 

 the nail, nearly measures a full inch. 



Pallas altered his first title, rujicollis (which Gmelin and Latham adopted), to salina.
