Survey Department. 
The general plumage of the adult is dusky, all the feathers are closely 
barred with ochraceous. Middle of breast and belly white. No line 
through the eye. Wing pure white, the primaries with black shaft 
lines; tail black. This specimen measures, wing 180™™, tarsus 36™™, 
middle toe without nail 28™™, culmen 15™™, depth of bill 7™™. 
Young in first plumage: Upper parts rich chestnut brown and dusky. 
All the feathers of the back with large white tips. Wing and tail 
barred with yellow and dusky. Sides of head, throat, and belly pale 
yellow. Crown and line from the bill rich chocolate brown. This bird, 
occurring in such an isolated region, is probably a localized race, but in 
default of adequate descriptions and specimens for comparison I have 
been unable to identify the species.

parently a young bird, as the measurements are considerably under the

tarsus go™™, 
This specimen was shot in a paddy fie'd with the common snipe, and 
was the only one observed.
