Phalaropes, and equally well adapted to resist the effects of 
the element in which they chiefly move. They breed upon 
the margins of lakes, and, like the other birds of this family, 
lay four eggs. Aquatic insects, mollusc, &c, compose their 
food, which they generally obtain on or very near the sur- 
face of the water.

summer, the numerous small fresh-water lakes, upon the mar-
