Figures and descriptions. Naumann 11; Gould III, IV; Dresser IX; Legge 14; Seeb. 

 19, 20; Gates 17; Taczanowski .30; Sharpe 34, etc., etc. 



Winter plumage. Above drab-broi^i, the inner wing-coverts and tertiaries edged with whitish 

 and notched with dark brown bars; lower back and rump wliite; upper tail- 

 coverts and tail white barred with brown; primary coverts and primaries dark 

 brown; secondaries and adjacent parts of the inner primaries white, the basal 

 parts of the feathers more or less brown, primary coverts broadly tipped with white 

 where they lie upon the white of the secondaries; supraloral stripe white passing 

 to above the eye; lores and ear-coverts drab; cheeks and under-parts white, 

 clouded with brown on sides of breast, streaked with brown on cheeks, jugulum, 

 breast, and flanks, taking an irregular bar-shape on sides of breast, under tail-coverts 

 and edge of wing below; "iris reddish or yellowish brown; bill black, upper mandible 

 with the base as far as the nostril reddish, and nearly half the under mandible red 

 (the amount of red variable); legs and feet orange-red, joints in some greyish": 

 Legge 14 (Tondano neighbourhood, Aug.— Sept. 1892: Nat. Coll. — C 10957). 



Moult. The specimen described has remains of summer plumage, the tertiaries, some feathers 

 on the mantle, scapulars and wing-coverts being old feathers of that season. The 

 remiges are new. We conclude that its moult must have commenced immediately 

 after the breeding season (probably the end of June or beginning of July), and that 

 it would have lasted in this .specimen till at least the end of September. As Naumann 

 points out (II), the Redshank moults twice a year. 



Breeding plumage. In summer the upper-parts are greenish drab, with streaks of blackish 

 on the head, neck, and mantle, and irregular bars on the other upper-parts; lower 

 back etc. as in winter wliite; below white, striated with brown on throat and fore 

 neck, taking more the form of drop-streaks on breast and sagittate spots on sides; 

 remiges as in winter (Semipalatinsk, Siberia — Nr. 11300). 



Measurements. AVing 150—164 mm; tail 54—70; tarsus 45—52; middle toe with claw 30.5 

 —34; bill from gape 47—51 mm (from Legge 14 and Taczanowski 30). 



Eggs. 4; pyriform; groimd-colour very pale buff to rich ochraceous buff, spotted and blotched 

 with rich dark bro^\^l, with underlpng spots of paler brown and grey; size 42 — 48 

 X 30—33 mm (from Seebohm 19).
