alighting. 
Four, all adults, on the bar at the mouth of the 
Kiver. They ran about exactly like the smaller spe¬ 
cies but their movements were much more rapid. They 
had the same Robin-like manner of making short runs, 
stooping^ for a moment to pick up a morsel of food, then 
standing erect and statuesque for moment before start¬ 
ing on the next run. When they faced us the black 
patches beneath y/ere very conspicuous. I killed all 
four of them.
