The indivi- duals which were killed corresponded to the description of Temminck, except that the colour of the tail feathers was pale-brown at the base, differing in shade into almost black ; the outer feather on each side, both shaft and web, being a pure white, as well as the tips of the whole twelve. 10.

The specimens which were killed agreed in all respects with the description of the full-plumaged bird in Tem- minck and in Wilson. The peculiarity in tiie hind toe of this species seems to have escaped the observation of the generality of authors; Wilson being the only one, amongst those who are referred to above, who has noticed it. It turns inwards, instead of taking as is usual, a straight direction backwards. The legs are deep oriinge-red during the height of the breeding season. 11. Variabilis. Dunlin.
