^ COOT-FOOTED TRINGA, 
from Hudson's Bav, and we received some 
from Sibreria. Eur, whether they migrate, or 
stray, they are sometimes seen in England ; 
for Edwards mentions one which was killed, 
in winter, in Yorkshire. He describes four 
birds," concludes Biiffon, which may be 
reduced to three species." 
These three species, according to BnfFon^ 
arc — 1. The Cinereous Phalarope, or Tringa 
Hyperborea, of Linnseus; 2. the Red Phala- 
rope, or Tringa Fulicaria of Linnaeus ; and, 
3. the' Phalarope with Indented Festoons, or 
Tringa Lobata of Linnsus. 
The first species, or Tringa Hyperborea 
of the Linnsan system, is our Coot- Footed 
Tringa of Edwards. -It is the Phalaropus, of 
Brisson ; the Tringa Fusca, of Gmelin the 
Phalaropus Fuscus, of Latham; and the 
Brown Phalarope, of Pennant. 
This bird, BinTon describes to be " eight 
inches long, from the bill to the tail; which 
last projects not beyond the wings. Li^s 
bill is slender, flattened horizontally, thirteen 
inches
