The sternum of the Jack Snipe differs from that of its congeners in having two sternum,notches on each side of the posterior margin. This circumstance and the fact that it has 3 Q 48-2 SCOLOPAX. only twelve rectrices are probably the reasons why it has been allowed to retain the genuscreated for its reception in the pree-Darwinian dark SCOLOPAX MAJOR.
