BROWN PHALAROPE. 209 



Edward s's plate 46 represents this very bird, I have little hesi- 

 tation in reasserting, notwithstanding all that has been advanc- 

 ed to the contrary, in some recent publications. Let it be re- 

 membered, that Edwards expressly informs us, his bird was 

 captured on board of a vessel, on the coast of Maryland, it hav- 

 ing been driven thither by an off-shore wind. At the foot of 

 plate 308, Edwards has represented the bill of this Phalarope, 

 as well as that of ihe Julicarius.
