THIS bird I shall still retain in the genus Totanus, though 

 placed upon the confines of the group, and by some authors 



" TEMMINCK, in his enumeration of the synonyms of this bird, in a 

 note, says, " Mais point le Scolopax glottis de GMELIN et de LATHAM, 

 dont la phrase Latine n'appartient point a la presente e'spece." To the 

 justice of this remark I cannot assent, as the specific description does an- 

 swer to the Greenshank, and has by all other authors been quoted as such.
