321. Telmatias Faeroeensis Brthm. 



Tdmatias Faeroemsis Yirehm, Handh, Naturg. Vog. Deutschl. p. 617 (1831 — Breeding on the Faeroe 

 Islands). 



Type: o ad., Faeroe Islands, V.vii. 1828. 



Unfortunately, I have not e.xamined other breeding Snipes from the Faeroe 

 Islands, and I am therefore unable to say whether the type of Brehni's 

 jaeroeensis is an individual variety or a subspecies ; in the latter case the birds 

 breeding on Iceland might belong to the same form. The specimen is rather 

 ferrugineous on the upperside, the edges on the scapulars are narrow, though 

 the bu'd is apparently quite adult and not young ; the black portions are more 

 or less speckled with rufous, the jugulum is rather rufescent. A si TiUar specimen 

 from Ireland (not Iceland) is in the British Mu.seum, another in the Tring 

 Museum, but both these latter might be migrants from the northern islands. 



322. Telmatias septentrionalis Brehm = Gallinago gallinago gallinago. 



Telmatias septentrionalis Brehm, Hnndb. Naturg. Vog. Deutschl. p. 619 (1831 — Described from hire's 

 arriving in October and November and wintering in Germany). 



Type: $ Lindenkreuz, 14.1.1826. C. L. Brehm coU. 



This being the only specimen in the collection shot before 1831, I take it 

 to be the type.

Telmatias peregrina Brehm, Handb. Naturg. Yog. Deutschl. p. 621 (1S3I — Rare in Germany, real 

 home unknown).
