50 CINEREOUS GODWIT SNIPE. Class II. 



is of the partridge* genus, and known to the 

 Italians by the name of Francolino. Those 

 who wish to see it in its proper colors, and to 

 be satisfied how well they agree with the descrip- 

 tions of the antients, need only consult the ^46th 

 plate of the works of our ingenious friend the 

 late Mr. Edzvarck.

XHIS species was shot near Spalding, and 

 the description communicated to me by the 

 Rev. Doctor Buckworth. 

 Descrip- The bill was two inches and a half long. The 

 head, neck, and back variegated with ash-color 

 and white; the tail slightly barred with cine- 

 . reous. The throat and breast white; the last 

 marked with a few ash-colored spots. The 

 legs long, slender, and ash-colored. This 

 was about the size of the greenshanks ; ap- 

 proaches it nearly in colors ; but the bill was 

 so much thicker, as to form a specific dis- 

 tinction.
