Linedtus striped, marked with lines, llnea = a thread of flax, linum, and 

 thence a line ; from the streaked upper plumage. 



One is said (' Ibis/ 1865, p. 549) to have been killed in 

 Invernesshire in 1863 ; but the record is probably due to the 

 mistake of a dealer. It inhabits North America, wintering 



as far south as Texas.]
