Two specimens of this bird were among the species brought home by the expedition. They 
accord with each other accurately in their markings ; and differ materially from any varieties which 
have ever come before me of the European Turnstone. This latter bird exhibits many variations, 
according to age, but never I believe has the entirely black plumage which covers the head and neck 
of our bird.
