" rm: PIIALAROPIIS‘¢‘

In the 1818 list of Island birds occur the names oi the Red and the Northern Plialaropes. The great majority of bird-names are popu- lar in tiie sense that they have been bestowed by the people them- selves. The name Phalarope, on the contrary, could only have been im- posed by a scientist. for it is Greek for "Coot-foot." It is a good name intimatlng that the birds have separate lobate webs running along each toe. scallop-fashion. The list doeshot give any specific records of the Phalaropes. but since they are fairly common in Nova scotia. New Brunswick and Newfoundland tiie surmise l" that they certainly visit P. E. I.

The Phalaropes are noteworthy iii some other respects. The female is larger and brighter-colored than the male, thus reversing the ilsilai older; and “the duties of incuba- tion are largely or chiefly per- formed by the male bird." Anoth- er striking difference appears in the seasonal changes of plumage as listed below:-

Red (or Gray) Phaiarope. A.O.U.

222. Probable fall visitor. Adult female. summer plumage: Crown and chin brownish-black. cheeks

white, lower neck and underparts reddish-brown. oftpn with scatter- ed ivhltc leathers. Back black, the feathers bordered huff, ivillgs gray, tips of greater coverls white; up- per tail-coverts rufous. Adult male in summer: similar, though small- er; little or no white on cheeks. crown striped like back. Adults in winter: tsp of head; aild under- purts, ivhiie; region about eye, and back ‘of neck fuscous; back and scapulars dark pearl-gray; wing.) gzeyisli fuscous. coverts and sec- oiidaries tipped white; rump and tail fuseous. To" with iobate webs. Length of Adult 8 inches.

There i8 a distinction between the bills of the two Phalaropes which must not be forgotten. The hill of the Rx‘ species is heavy. broad and flat: that of the North- crn Pliniarope is very slender and sharp-pointed.

Northern Piialarupc. A. 0. U. 223. Probable visitor, according to 1916 list. Adult female in summer: sides (and front) of neck rufous more oi less mixed with sluty-gray; rest c! the underparis white; upper parts slutty-gray; back and scapu

Zara edged with ocliraceous buff’. Adult male in summer: similar but upper parts black, and with more cchraceous; sides (and front) 0f neck mixed with fllscous. Adults in irintcr: uppcr parts grayish. more oi less mixed with white. tips of greater wing-coverts and some- times part of the secondaries white; occasionally with traces B! rufous on the sides of the back. undeirparts white, more or less mottled grayish on the. breast. lin- maturo birds have the upper parts black. edged straw-color; forehead white; underparts white. lightly shaded buffy. Toes with lobate -.v(.bs. Length of adult 7.5 inches, of bill .85 inches-

Piialaropes vwrc iloiicccl off the coasts of tile u. s. A. in 1881. but it was not till Sept. 1909 that an actual capture of three birds was rhade and the plumage observed. H. B. Brimley described them as "(host peculiar in their actions. darting about on tiie surface more like insects than birds."

Scottish Life and Character (4)

When Dean Ramsay published his “Reminiscence? (1860) it is clear that the drinking habits of the previous generations of Scots had given place to more. rational relaxations. No doubt the "auld Iowk" could have put up a 800d excuse for their devotion to (hc ‘boattlei’ The climate, among the hills and mountains of the North, was inclement; there were no ra-

(ional amusements for the leisure hour; and there was remarkably little in the line of education, to promote a better class of culture. (Matters were almost iii the same stage in the Northumberland of my childhood. I can recall tiie sight of well-dressed men. adorn ea with stove-pipe hats, zig-zagging along the streets of a sea-side l, wn. and nobody giving them a second look. Years after, when I myself went to live in town, i noticed a great change: drunken- ness. except in the lowest stratum of the people, was taboo!)

There was an invariable prac- tice at private drinking parties, WfilCll stirred the reverend Deans lic — the practice of forcing cacn person, man. matron. spinster, or girl. to drink a “toast” and iittei “a sentiment.’ Some of these sen- timents took the form of wishes-

“l-leres tac the land o‘ cakes." (Scot-land)

"Mair freens and less nccd u

them." Hcreb Lac them that lends us a 11ft."

There is no doubt that a cere- mony oi this sort could be made very embarrassing by an ill-natur- nci person, bui. the malice some- times backfired as the Laird of Combie lice found. There was a

beiieioiciice robity. but no bea.:‘_v. One (lay ombie was, as frequently hap- pened, a guest of Miss MacNabb's,. dinner was over, and several toasts had gone round, as usual, when Cunlbie asked all the guests to fiil their glass: to the brim, for a special bumper. Rising. he ad- dressed himself to his hostess, and said “I propose the old Scotch llasl: of "Honest men and bonnie lossies!" He bowed to the hostess and took his seat. Miss MacNabo returned the bow. with a smile, and faking up her glass, replied, "Weel, Combie. I am sure we may drink that, for it will apply neither to you nor me." It is not on record that Coinbie had any reply to this thrust.

Dean Ramsay was pleased that this degrading old custom had fall- en into abeyance. and devoted some pages to rejoicing over its downfall. Perhaps, for reasons of splice, we should pass on to the third division of ills bool(—- a coli-

sideratlon of "the old Scottish Domestic Servant," in the next Notes.

Just. a Few Words

The other day I heard a speaker nlcntion the old time Vikings: he pronounced the word VIE-Kings, in concession, I suppose to some lo- cal pronunciation. It ought, of course, to be spoken as VlCK-ing, for tiie following reasons. The long narrow bay or creek on tiie Scandinavian coasts was called a ‘vik", and the dwellers on its shores became known as "viklngr." The ‘r’ was the sign of the plural. and (he "ing" might be loosely tiunslated "People." The Vikinsfi were literally tiie “crcck-ioik" .1 title which had nothing io do with the name “sea-kings." after wards applied to these wild rovers.

Because the vikings clustered to- gether for safety their settlements gradually utcquirecl the name of "viks" (.00. V and W, in some of the old languages were inter- changeable, and by the time the word got to England it was "wick’ or "wlcli": Warwick. soldierrv-town, and Sandwich, town on the sand. The Germans flattened it to “wlg" as Schleswig, the’ town on the schlei. g '

(The letter "r" as a plural 1S. I think, very scarce. I have heard old Irish mothers talk of "the ciiilder" when they spoke of their families. The Anglo-Saxon has managed to achieve a double plur-

al by talking oi the "child-r-en!)
