106 DRS. HARUAUB AND FINSCH ON BIRDS [Jan. 16, 



In our last list of the birds of the Pelew Islands we have inserted 

 this species wrongly as N. caledonicus, from which it seems to differ 

 specifically in having the back, shoulders, and wing-coverts of a 

 much darker cinnamon-castaneous ; the neck is also darker. The 

 young birds differ also a good deal from the young of N. caledoni- 

 cus, having the sides of head and the front of the neck brown, each 

 feather with a narrow white shalt-stripe.

Specimens from the Navigators, (Upolu), shot in September by Dr. 

 Graffe, bear different plumages. One has still the banded summer 

 dress ; others have already partially or totally assumed the uniform 

 winter dress. Von Kittlitz observed this species on Ualan, in the 

 Eastern Carolines {Tringa ylareola, Denkwiird. i. p. 365).
