Professor Schlegel (Mus. Pays-Bas, Scolopaces, p. 93) identifies this species with 
Numenius pheopus. Sonnerat’s plate and description do not perfectly agree with that 
species, more especially as he describes and figures the crown of the head as being 
black. Mr. Swinhoe, who considers NV. wropygialis, Gould, distinct from N. pheopus, 
has identified Mr. Gould’s species with that described by Sonnerat (P. Z.S. 1871, p. 410, 
no. 572). Mr. Dresser (Birds of Eur. pt. 17) has united N. phwopus with N. 
uropygialis, and regards Sonnerat’s plate as having been drawn from a Philippine 
example of the common Whimbrel.

Iam unable to determine this species; nor has it been recognized since Sonnerat 
published its description. No author appears to have suggested its identity with any 
known species. But, curiously enough, Mr. G. R. Gray, in the index (Hand-list, iii. 
pp- 235, 268), refers Vieillot’s title fuscata, and Gmelin’s title manillensis, both being 
founded on Sonnerat’s plate (J. ¢.), to no. 10234 of his Hand-list. This is the number 
pertaining to Tantalus albicollis, Gm., the young of Tantalus melanopis, Gm.; but the 
two titles above given are not added as synonyms, nor do they appear, although 
indexed, in any part of the work. From this it may be inferred that Mr. Gray at one 
time identified Sonnerat’s Cowrly brun with the South-American species. The elements 
of Sonnerat’s short description are manifestly taken from some form of the genus Jdis. 
and not of Nwmenius.
