Sanppiper. GRALLATORES. TOTANUS. 77 
Under parts pure white. The back, scapulars, and 
wing-coverts hair-brown, glossed. with olive-green ; the 
margins of the feathers being finely spotted with yellow- 
ish-white. The quills very dark hair-brown, with all 
the shafts dark-coloured. The under wing-coverts deep 
hair-brown, beautifully varied with marks like the letter 
V. Rump white. Tail white; the middle feathers 
having three broad dark hair-brown bars, the next with 
two, and the two outer feathers almost immaculate. The 
legs and toes are greenish-grey, and not nearly so long 
in proportion to the size of the bird, as in the Wood 
Sandpiper (T'otanus glareola). 
The principal difference in the plumage of the adult con- 
sists in the upper part of it being more thickly covered 
with small white specks, and the fore part of the neck 
and breast having longitudinal brown streaks, instead 
of the lance-shaped spots of the young bird.
