Specimens from Eastern Asia, with more streaked rumps, have been separated as A! vuriegatvs. In general plumage and habits the Whimbrel resembles the Curlew; it is, however, much smaller, the cry consists of sharper and more quickly repeated notes, and the parents, though anxious, are less shy at the nest. They often descend in a gyrating fashion, closing one wing. Ar. hudsonicus, of Arctic North America, which winters throughout South America, and has once occurred in Spain, resembles N. borealis in its cinnamon axillaries, but is larger and less ruddy beneath. A7! tahitiensis, common in the Pacific Islands, and probably breeding in Alaska, is recognisable by the bristlypointed flank-feathers; A. minutus, ranging from East Siberia in summer to the Malay Islands and Australia in winter, has the back of the metatarsus as well as the front scutellated. Sab-fern. 3. Scolopacinae. --Macrorhamphvs griscus, the Dowitcher, breeding in the extreme north of North America, and its larger and brighter western race, if. scolopaceus, are rufous birds with darker variegations, the lower back and tail being white, but the latter and its upper coverts shewing blackish barring. The bill is widened towards the tip, while in winter the plumage is grey and white. One form or the other has strayed to Britain, Western Europe, and Eastern Asia, the range on migration reaching Brazil and Chili. The habits resemble those of Bedshanks. if. taezanowskii, with black-mottled rump, occupies East Siberia, and winters in India. . . This item ships from La Vergne,TN.<
