SCOLOPAX. 4S1 The Jack Snipe and the Auckland Snipe are the two smallest species in the genus, Specific but the former may perhaps be most easily diagnosed from all its congeners by the purple(/loss on its mantle and the metallic green on the inside webs of its scapulars. %**>*- It is irregularly distributed, during the breeding-season, in the Arctic Regions fromthe Atlantic to the Pacific. It breeds on the Dovrefjeld above the limit of forest-growth,and throughout the tundras of Lapland. Henke says that it is only seen on migration atArchangel; Hoffmann records it from the source of the Petchora ; and Middendorff metwith it on the Boganida River, east of the Yenesay, in lat. 70°. It doubtless breeds inNorth-east Siberia, since it has occurred repeatedly in Japan and once in did not meet with it near Lake Baikal, but Finsch records it on migration fromSouth-west Siberia. Severtzow says that it passes through Turkestan ; and Bogdanowrecords it in spring and autumn in the valley of the Volga. It winters throughout thebasin of the Mediterranean and inland in Africa north of the Great Desert, as well as inPersia, Afghanist
