GREY PHALAROPE.

nearly perfected, but upon the back, nape, and 
crown, several dark feathers intermixed with grey, 
and having rufous edges, still remain ; the wings are 
of a deep tint, and the long tertials are broadly 
edged with white ; the bill, in this specimen, is 
entirely black. Our plate represents both states of 
plumage. 
Dr. Richardson has hinted at the existence of 
two species of broad or flat-billed Phalaropes, differ- 
ing materially in the size and length of the bills.* 
We give the dimensions of the buds before us, to
