inches; to the toes twenty-one; its breadth 
twenty-eight, The bill like that of the former ; 
the chin white, tinged with red; the neck ash- 
colored ; the head of a deep ash-color, whitish 
about the eye; the back of an uniform brownness, 
not spotted like that of the preceding; the ramp 
encompassed with a white ring; the two middle 
feathers of the tail black; the outmost, espe- 
cially on the outside web, white almost to the 
tips; in the rest the white part grows less and 
less to the middlemost. 
Besides these, Mr. WVillughby mentions a 
third species, called in Cornwall, the Stone Cur- 
lew™; but describes it no farther than saying it 
has a shorter and slenderer bill than the preced- 
ing. 
* The Stone Curlew is a name given in some parts of Eng- 
land to the Whimbrel. A species of snipe under that denomi- 
nation is described by Mr. Pennant, in the Arctic Zoology, vol. 
il. p. 171, as an inhabitant of Chateaux Bay, in North America.
