RING—RIVERSIDE. 197 
Ringed Guillemot. A supposed variety of the COMMON 
GUILLEMOT described in Yarrell (1st ed.) as a separate 
species. It is the Bridled Guillemot of Gould. 
RINGED PLOVER [No. 358]. So called from its black 
pectoral band. The name first occurs in Pennant’s ‘“‘ British 
Zoology” (8vo ed.). It is the Sea Lark of Willughby, Albin, 
Pennant (fo. ed., 1766) and other old writers. 
Rinc-EYED Scout: The Ringed Guillemot. (Yorkshire.) 
RiNGLEsToNES. A name used by Sir Thomas Browne for the 
RINGED PLOVER. Skeat thinks it may refer to the bird’s 
habit of “ranging” the stones for its nest. Swainson 
refers it to the bird’s ‘“‘ white collar.” 
RinG-NECK: The RINGED PLOVER. (Yorkshire.) 
RING-NECKED Duck. See American Scaup. 
RING-NECKED Loon: The GREAT NORTHERN DIVER. 
(East Lothian, Cork Harbour.) 
RING-NECKED PHEASANT. A variety of the PHEASANT. 
RING-OUZEL [No. 162]. The name arises from the conspicuous 
white gorget or crescent on the breast. “ Ring-Ouzel” 
first occurs in Willughby (1678) and was adopted by most 
succeeding authors. 
RING-TAIL or RING-TAILED Krre: The female HEN-HARRIER, 
from the brown-banded tail. The former name occurs 
in Turner and Willughby, and the latter in Merrett. 
Swainson gives Ring-tail as an East Lothian name. Col. 
Thornton’s ‘‘ Stangel or Ringtail ” is perhaps the KESTREL. 
RryG-TaiLeD or Rine-ram Eacte: The GOLDEN EAGLE 
(immature). Willughby and Ray describe a “ Gelden 
Eagle with a white ring about its tail,” which they “ take 
to be specifically the same” as the Golden Eagle. 
It was for long considered a separate species, however, 
and Linnzeus describes it as Falco fulvus. Pennant figured it 
in 1766 (‘ Brit. Zool.,” fo. ed.) under the name of Ringtail 
Eagle, and Montagu in 1802 deemed it a good species. 
Rina-Turusu: The RING-OUZEL (see Ringed Blackbird). 
Rinc-WHIsTLE: The RING-OUZEL. (Teesdale, Yorkshire.) 
Riepock or Rirrock: The COMMON TERN. (Orkneys.) 
Swainson derives it from the Icel. rit-wr. 
Risine Lark: The SKY-LARK. (Northants.) From its 
soaring while singing. 
River Pre: The DIPPER. (Ireland.) From its haunts and 
pied plumage. 
RIVERSIDE Buntine : The REED-BUNTING.
