T HIS bird is figured of its natural fize, 
and of fuch exa£t coloring as to make 
any defcription unneceflary : the form 
of the bill, which turns a little up, is a character 
fufficient to diftinguilh it from others of the genus. 
The fpecimen this was drawn from, Was (hot in 
Shropjhire. Mr. Ray obferved them flying three 
or four in company on the coafts of Cornwal and 
Merionethjhire : and Sir ’Thomas Brown of Norwich 
difcovered them on the coaft of Norfolk , com¬ 
municating the picture of one to Mr. Ray , with 
the name of Morinellus mar inns , or fea dottrel.

T HIS fpecies agrees with the former in 
its manners and haunts $ but is more 
common : its note is louder and more 
piping than others of this genus. Its weight is 
are black, marked with numerous white lihes, 
pointing obliquely from the edges of the feather 
to the fhaft, reprefenting the letter V. Thefe 
alone form a fufficient character of this fpecies. 
Except in pairing time, it is a folitary bird : it 
is never found near the fea 5 but frequents rivers, 
lakes, and other frelh waters. In France it is 
highly efteemed for its delicate tafte ; and is ta¬ 
ken with limed twigs placed near its haunts.
