Tuts bird I shall still retain in the genus Totanus, though 
placed upon the confines of the group, and by some authors 
* TemmMrnck, in his enumeration of the synonyms of this bird, in a 
note, says, “ Mais point le Scolopax glottis de GmxEry et de Larnam, 
dont la phrase Latine n’appartient point 4 la presente éspéce.” To the 
justice of this remark I cannot assent, as the specific description does an- 
swer to the Greenshank, and has by all other authors been quoted as such.
