In the indivi- duals killed in the height of the season the red of the breast was fully as deep as in the plate in Wilson's Am.

The hind toe of the Knot is directed in- wards, as is that of the Turnstone. 13. Trincia IMaritima. Purple Sandpiper. Greenl. Birds, no. 7. Tctnm. (il9.

The history of its dif- ferent states of plumage is correctly given in the second edition of the Manuel d'Ornit/iologie. It may be stated, in addition, that the young birds w^hich were killed shortly after they quitted the nest, had the feathers of the back and scjipuhirs edged with white, changing gradually as the season advanced into an approximation to the clear red, which is described as the marking of the bird of the first year. The change takes place in the scapulars earlier than in the feathers of the back. H. PiiALARorus Platvrvnchos. Flat billed Phalarope. Greenl. Birds, no. 12. Temm. 712.
