332 THE WOOD-SNIPE. 
In the plate,* given at the close of this article, we have 
endeavoured to exhibit, in juxtaposition, characteristic repre- 
sentations of the lower tail-coverts, tail-feathers, and wing- 
linings of this present species, the Eastern Solitary Snipe, and 
the Common and Pintail Snipes. The figure of these parts 
in the Wood-Snipe is very good and characteristic, but speci- 
mens do vary so zuter se that it is difficult to make much of 
such plates.
