SqxuUarola longirostris A. E. Brehm, Journ. /. Orn. 1854, p. 79 (Menzaleh Lake in Egypt. Nomen 

 nudum !) ; Squatarola megarhyiKhos C. L. Brehm, Vogellang, p. 284 (1855 — " Kommt aus dem 

 Nordosten nacb Siidosteuropa und Aegypten." Probably only the one specimen was before 

 the author, the occurrence in S.E. Europe theoretical). 



Type : <J ad., Menzaleh Lake, 18. v. 1849. A. E. Brehm coll. 



The specimen is somewhat large for typical squatarola, but the wing only 

 193 mm., the beak damaged at the tip, therefore not measurable in detail. The 

 specimen evidently does not belong to the eastern subspecies, S. s. hypomelaena.

(In Beitr. z. Vogelk. iii. p. 333. 1822, C. L. Brehm described a Tringa macro- 

 rhyncha from two specimens, one shot on September 25, 1816, in Thuringia, 

 probably near Renthendorf ; one shot by SihUling " end of October 1819 on 

 Riigen." Neither of these specimens appears to be in the collection ; there is 

 a young 9 shot near the Friessnitzer See " 25. Lx. 1817 " which might be the 

 type, if the date of capture is wrong on the label or in the publication ; but the 

 label says that it was shot with the brother, while Brehm specially said he saw 

 more than two speci.nens, one of them from Riigen ; the latter cannot be the 

 type, as it does not at all agree with the description, and was shot October 9, 

 which is not " end of October").

Schinz's Dunlm has for many years been united with Erolia alpina alpina, 

 but recent authors in Germany and England have separated it, under the
