2 JOTTINGS ABOUT BIRDS. 



Linnirus, is a common winter visitor to be met 

 with everywhere in suitable haunts. Loche states 

 that it has been known to breed in Algeria, a fact 

 which seems to me beyond all question. 



^•j. The Jack Snipe Scolopax gal/inu/a, Linnaeus, 

 is a winter visitor to Algeria, but is said by 

 Taczanowski to be rare. Canon Tristram shot this 

 species in the Wed R'hir, about lat. 34^°. 



56. The Dunlin Triuga alpina, Linn^us, is a 

 winter visitor, common on the salt marshes, and 

 near the various lakes. 



57. The Broad-billed Sandpiper Tringa plalij- 

 rlnjncha, Temminck, is a winter visitor to Algeria, 

 but its range is very little known. 



58. The Little Stint Tringa mimita, Leisler, 

 is a winter visitor to Algeria, but is perhaps most 

 abundant on spring and autumn migration. Tac- 

 zanowski states that it is found in suitable haunts 

 in both mountain and desert districts. 



59. Temminck's Stint Tringa temminchi, Leisler, 

 is a winter visitor to Algeria, frequenting salt 

 marshes and lakes. 



60. The Curlew Sandpiper Tringa su/-ar(/tiafa 

 (Giildenstadt), is a winter visitor, perhaps most 

 abundant on spring and autumn migration.
