(283) Totanus calidris. — The Redshank. 

 Blanford, No. 1464 ; Jerdon, No. 897. 



A single specimen was shot by my collectors at Neendakaray in 

 January 1903. 



(284) Totanus glottis. — The Greenshank. 

 Blanford, No. 1466 ; Jerdon, No. 894. 



Like the others a winter visitor. I have not met with it in the 

 South, but my collectors saw flocks of them on the sides of the rivers 

 and in marshes in North Travancore, and obtained specimens at Yet- 

 tamanne, Shertally, and Vycome. 



(285) Tringa minuta — The Little Stint. 

 Blanford, No. 1471 ; Jerdon, No. 884. 



A fairly common visitor to the coast of North Travancore in winter, 

 but not found inland. It often associates with Tringa subarquata. It 

 forms larger flocks, as a rule, than the other stints. 

 (286) Tringa subarquata. — The Curlew Stint or Pigmy Curlew. 



Blanford, No. 1477 ; Jerdon, No. 882. 

 This fine stint is found from October to April on the coast of North 

 Travancore, especially about Manakodam Bar. When it associates 

 with Tringa minuta, only a few individuals are found, but it forms flocks 

 of from eight to twelve when alone. 



(287) Tringa platyrhyncha. — The Broad-billed Stint. 

 Blanford, No. 1479 ; Jerdon, No. 886. 

 A single specimen of this stint was shot by my collectors at Mana- 

 kodam Bar in January 1903. 



Sub-family Scolopacinoe. 



(288) Scolopax rusticula. — The Woodcock. 



Blanford, No. 1482 ; Jerdon, No. 867. 



Occasional specimens of this bird may be met with in grass land 



bordered by forest in South Travancore at elevations of about 4,000 



feet in the winter. On the High Range in similar localities before the 



forest was cut down for coffee and tea cultivation, it used to be fairly 



common at this period. 



(289) Gallinago nemoricola. — The Wood-snipe. 

 Blanford, No. 1483 ; Jerdon, No. 868. 

 A solitary bird, of which the Museum possesses only one specimen shot 

 od the High Range.
