With special reference to the transportation of the young by the parent. The plate fig- 

 ures the parent flying with the young in her feet, away from the body, as a hawk would 

 carry its prey. The test bears this out, but other passages of the same article speak of the 

 young being pressed to the parent's body, clasped between her legs. See 1874, "A. W."

Note. 

 In Ibis, Oct., 1879, p. 453, in an article not citable under Scolopacida;, as it refers to various 

 other birds, H. T. Wharton has shown that the proper specific name of the European Wood- 

 cock is rusticula, not rusticola, though the latter is almost invariably used. Though aware 

 of this before these pages were printed, I preferred to use the latter in my brackets, as being 

 that which the authors themselves of the various papers did or would employ.
