308 SANDPIPER. 



under the tail, white; upper tail coverts part brown, part white; 

 quills brown, with white shafts, some of them edged with white, the 

 base of all from the fourth white, increasing to the nineteenth, which, 

 with the rest, is wholly white; tail half way from the base white, 

 the two middle feathers from the middle to the end brown, with 

 white tips; the four on each side the same, but the brown less as the 

 feathers are more outward, the exterior one wholly white, except a 

 brown spot on the inner web ; legs red. 



This is clearly a Variety of the former, and I have observed 

 several which have differed considerably from each other. 



B. — Coulon-chaud de Cayenne, PI. enl. 340. Ind. Orn. ii. 739. y. Gen. Syn. v. 190. B. 



Bill as in the others, colour dull yellow, with a black tip; 

 plumage above mottled brown and white ; the brown patches largest 

 on the back ; the under parts from the breast, lower part of the 

 back, and rump, white ; chin and throat white ; on the wings a 

 mixture of white ; quills dusky ; tail brown, some of the outer 

 feathers white; legs red. — Inhabits Cayenne. 



C. —Coulon-chaud gris de Cayenne, PL enl. 857. Ind. Orn. ii. 739. Gen. Syn. v. 

 191. C. 



Bill black ; plumage on the upper parts not unlike the last; 

 forehead, chin, and throat, and under part from the breast, white; 

 under the eye a dusky streak ; rump white ; quills and tail brown ; 

 the latter tipped with white : the wings in PI. enluvn. seem to exceed 

 the tail in length, and there is no mixture of white on the coverts ; 

 on the lower part of the neck some mottlings of brown ; legs dusky, 

 or pale red brown. 



Both the last described from the PI. enlum. and both inhabit 

 Cayenne ; whether the base of the tail or the quills are white, can- 

 not be ascertained from the drawing.
