Sm AS Ree: 
That in the Mu/eum of Sir 4. Lever, had each of the wing co- 
verts terminated by a white {pot: the margin of the wings, and 
tips of the quills and tail, grey. This fpecimen came from 
Gibraltar. 
Lev. Muf. 
IZE of our Sterling: length nearly ten inches. The bill 
rather long, and fomewhat bent ; it is fharp at the tip, but 
a trifle flatted ; the colour is black, tinged with blue towards the 
bafe: irides dull hazel: from the angle of the lower mandible 
{prings a carunculated orange- -coloured membrane, tending down- 
wards like the wattle of a Cock; this is about a quarter of an 
inch in fize: the general colour of the plumage is dull black ; 
but the back and wing coverts are ferruginous: the legs are 
black. 
The female is wholly of a dull ferruginous brown: tue bill and 
legs are the fame as in the male; but the wattle is not fo large, 
nor is it very confpicuous, except in old birds. 
This fpecies is found in New Zealand, particularly in the 
fouthern ifland, where it is pretty common, as Dr. Forffer in- 
forms me; and that it has a weak piping voice, not worthy of 
being called a fong. 
Tringa * carunculata, capenfis, Naturf. vol. xi. p.g. tab. 2. 
ENGTH fix inches and a half. Bill brown, and made not 
unlike that of a Starline: from the bafe of the under man- 
dible hangs a double wattle, like that of a Cock, half an inch or 
* It cannot be a Yringa, as it is not in the leaft dare above the zee.
