X HIS bird is common to Europe and America; 

 according to Mr. Edzvardss figure, it is less 

 than the preceding. 



The bill is of the same colors with that of the Descrip- 

 Red shank ; the head, upper part of the neck, 

 the back and coverts of the wings, are brown, 

 inclining to olive, and marked with triangular 

 black spots ; above each eye is a white line ; the 

 greater quil feathers are wholly black, the lesser 

 tipt with white ; the middle feathers of the tail 

 are brown ; the side feathers white, marked with 

 dusky lines ; the whole under side, from the neck 

 to tail, is white, marked with dusky spots ; the 

 female has none of these spots, except on the 

 throat ; the legs are of a dusky flesh color. Mr. 

 Edxvards imagines these to be birds of passage; 

 the bird he took his description from was shot 

 in Esse.v.
