THE BIRDS OF NORTH C A CHAR. 499 



(599) ToTANus HYPOLEUcus. — The common Sandpiper. 



Hume, No. 893 : Blanford, No. 1460. 



Very common. 



(600) T. GLAREOLA. — The Wood Sandpiper. 



Hme, No. 891 ; Blanford, No. 1461. 

 Common, but not nearly as numerous as the last. 



(601) T. ocHKOPus. — The Green Sandpiper. 



Hume, No. 892 ; Blanford, No. 1462. 



Common. 



(602) T. STAGNATiLis.— The Little Green Shank. 



Hume, No. 895 ; Blanford, No. 1463. 



This is, I think, a rather rare sandpiper in Cachar. I have only one 



specimen in my collection, but have doubtless overlooked very mauy 



when shooting snipe. 



(603) T. CALiDRis.— The Rod Shank. 



Hume, No. 897 ; Blanford, No. 1464. 



A not rare visitor to Cachar, where a few may nearly always be o-ot 



by any one wanting them. 



(604) T. Fuscus.— The Spotted Red Shank. 



Hume, No. 896 ; Blanford, No. 1465. 



I have several specimens of this Red Shank shot by my collectors in 



Cachar, but have, strange to say, come across none myself. I do not 



think it can be at all rare. 



(605) T. GLOTTIS.— The Green Shank. 



Hume, No. 894 ; Blanford, No. 1466. 



Very common indeed. 



(606) Pavoncella PUGNAX. — The RufF^, Reeve 9. 



Hume, No. 880 ; Blanford, No. 1468. 



I once saw^ three Reeves on the Masimpore bheel in Cachar. I saw 



no Rufif ; and these three Reeves were not seen again. 



(607) Tbinga minuta.— The Little Stint. 

 Hume, No. 884 ; Blanford, No. 1471. 



Common. 



(608) T. TEMMiNCKi. — Tennninck's Stint. 

 Hume, No. 885 ; Blanford, No. 1474. 



This is the most common form of Stint found in Sylhet and Cachar 

 and is often seen in very considerable flocks, as well as in pairs and singly.
