Porzana Carolina. — a, b, adults. 



Crymophilus fulicarius. — a, adult male in summer plumage; b. 

 adult female in summer plumage. 



Phalaropus lobatus. — a, b, c, adults in summer plumage. 



Gallinago delicata. — a, b, adults. 



Macrorhamphus griseus. — a., b., adults in summer plumage. 



Micropalama himantopus. — An adult in summer plumage. 



Tringa alpina pacifica. — a, b, adults in summer plumage. These 

 specimens seem to agree perfectly with Scotch specimens of Tringa 

 alpina, with which they have been compared. After an examination 

 of the few American specimens of this bird at my disposal I have come 

 to the conclusion that even the eastern American Dunlins are liable to 

 considerable variation. An adult specimen from New Jersey in full 

 summer plumage is much brighter, though paler, in color than any Euro- 

 pean specimen I have seen ; and the breast is whiter and much less streaked 

 with dusky; the bill, however, is only 1.30 inches in length. An adult 

 in full winter plumage, and also from New Jersey, is a deep brown on the 

 upper surface and quite different from the European bird at the same 

 season, and the bill is no less than 1.70 inches in length. The various 

 dimensions of these four specimens are as follows :
