SANDPIPER. GRALLATORES. TOTANUS. 77 



Under parts pure white. The back, scapulars, and 

 wing-coverts hair-brown, glossed with olive-green ; the 

 margins of the feathers being finely spotted with yellow- 

 ish-white. The quills very dark hair-brown, with all 

 the shafts dark- coloured. The under wing-coverts deep 

 hair-brown, beautifully varied with marks like the letter 

 V. Rump white. Tail white; the middle feathers 

 having three broad dark hair-brown bars, the next with 

 two, and the two outer feathers almost immaculate. The 

 legs and toes are greenish-grey, and not nearly so long 

 in proportion to the size of the bird, as in the Wood 

 Sandpiper ( Totanus glareold). 



The principal difference in the plumage of the adult con- 

 sists in the upper part of it being more thickly covered 

 with small white specks, and the fore part of the neck 

 and breast having longitudinal brown streaks, instead 

 of the lance-shaped spots of the young bird.
