T HIS Bird was about the bignefs of the Jack Snipe,
Its Bill black, the Noftrils oblong, the Head and
Neck of a pale duiky Colour, the Back and Wings fome-
thing darker, the Quill-Feathers very dark, their exterior
Edges light; the Belly and Thighs are white, the Tail was
made up of twelve Feathers, their upper Sides duiky, their
under fide white: It was bare above Knee, the Legs and
Feet black, the back Toe very fmall: This Bird was Ihot
by a Gentleman near a Pond fide, and was brought me by
the name o f the Tree Widdle; I believe this Name impofed
on it is not right, I rather believe it to be the female Stent
or Sanderling. See the Male Vol. the feeoydy Numb. 74.
