The descent of man : and selection in relation to sex descentofmanseledarw Year: 1874 BIRDS—YOUNG LIKE ADULT MALES. 471 incubation, for Mr. Swinhoe found the females before the close of the summer associated in flocks, as occurs with the females of the Turnix. The females of Phalaropus fulicarius and P. hj'-perboreus are larger, and in their summer plumage 'more gayly attired than Fig. 62. Rhynchaea capeiisis (from Brehm). 'the males.' But the difference in color between the sexes is far from conspicuous. According to Professor Steenstrup, the male alone of P. fulicarius undertakes the duty of incubation; this is likewise shown by the state of his breast-feathers during the breeding-season. The female of the dotterel plover (Eudro- mias morinellus) is larger than the male, and has the red and black tints on the lower surface, the white crescent on the breast. i» 'Ibis,' 1866, p. 298.
