BROWN RHALAROPE. 
209 
Edwards’s plate 46 represents this very bird, I have little hesi- 
tation in reasserting, notwithstanding all that has been advanc- 
ed to the contrary, in some recent publications. Let it be re- 
membered, that Edwards expressly informs us, his bird was 
captured on board of a vessel, on the coast of Maryland, it hav- 
ing been driven thither by an off-shore wind. At the foot of 
plate 308, Edwards has represented the bill of this Phalarope, 
as well as that oi \\\q Julicarius.
