NON-INDIGENOUS BRITISH BIRDS. 357 



SOUDAN CRANE. 



GRUS PAVONINA [Lm7lCEl/s). 



One British record. Said to be a sedentary species. 

 There can be no doubt that the individual recorded was 

 an escape, the date of capture (September) and the area 

 inhabited precluding any possibility of abnormal flight. 

 Habitat : Central and West Africa. 



ANDALUCIAN HEMIPODE. 



TURNix SYLVATICA i^Desfontavies). 



Three British records. A sedentary species. There 

 can be no doubt that the individuals in question had 

 been imported, and were either turned out or had es- 

 caped. Habitat: South-western Europe, and North- 

 western Africa.

TOTANUS STAGNATILIS, Bccksteijl. 



One British record. A migratory species. I am in-

 example obtained at Tring reservoir has been lost or 

 mislaid. I see no reason why stray individuals of this 

 Sandpiper should not reach our area, but for the present 

 it is perhaps the wisest course to exclude the species 

 from the British list. Habitat : Southern Europe, North 

 Persia, Southern Turkestan, and Southern Siberia in
