coverts of the tail barred with black and white; 
the tail short, cinereous; the legs and feet black. 
Mr. Ray saw this species at Brignal in York-.

from North America, being common to the 
North of Europe and America. 
[The above is the description of the male. 
The head, throat, hind neck, back, scapulars, 
and upper tail coverts of the female, are black, 
with a rufous margin; a pale rufous brown 
streak over the eye; the rump white, spotted 
with dusky ; the under parts from the throat, 
dusky red; the wings and tail as in the other 
sex. This is the red coot footed tringa of Ed- 
wards, Tab. 142, and is extremely well figured 
in Mr. Sowerby’s British Miscellany, from a 
specimen procured from the lochs in the islands 
of Sanda and North Ronaldsha. En.
