OF this species only one specimen was ever seen by Wilson, 
and that was preserved in Trowbridge’s Museum, at Albany, in 
the state of Newyork. On referring to Wilson’s Journal I found 
an account of the bird, there called a Tringa^ written with a lead 
pencil, but so scrawled and obscured that parts of the writing were 
not legible. I wrote to Mr. Trowbridge, soliciting a particular 
description, but no ahswer was returned. However, having had 
the good fortune, since publishing the first edition, of examining a 
fine recent specimen of this rare bird, I hope I shall be enabled to 
fix the species by such characters as will prevent any ornithologist 
in future from confounding it with the species which follows ; two 
birds which, owing to a want of precision, were involved in almost 
inextricable confusion, until Temminck applied himself to the task 
of disembroiling them; and this ingenious naturalist has fully 
* Named in the plate Gray Phalarope.
