Red-necked Plialarope. 453 



Dictionary, quotes a correspondent who says : ' It swims with 

 the greatest ease, and when on the water looks like a beautiful 

 miniature of a Duck, carrying its head close to the back in the 

 manner of a Teal.' 



In France it is Phalarope hyperbore, and in Germany Eothhal- 

 siger Wassertreter. 



We have now reached the end of the fourth great Order of 

 Birds viz., the Waders and but one more Order remains to be 

 considered, the true Water-Fowl, or Swimmers.
