The Jackfnipe has the fame habits and manners of life as the 

 common Siiipe^ but appears to be lefs abundantly difperfed over the 

 globe than that bird. Dr. Latham remarks that he cannot trace it 

 more South than Aleppo (where, according to Dr. Ruffe), it is not 

 uncommon), and to the North as far as lat. 80. 27. 



This is only half the fize of the common Snipe, weighing no more 

 than two ounces ; its length eight inches and a half.
