BIRDS FROM SIAJVI AND THE MALAY PENINSULA 91 



uary 6 ; Deignan ^^ had only one record for the Chiengmai region, a 

 single specimen at Nawng Haw in October, but later he secured two 

 additional specimens, in September.^^ It is not an uncommon winter 

 visitor to Siam ; it is probably more numerous in migration and more 

 abundant in the south. 



TRINGA OCHROPrS Linnaeus 



Tringa ochropus Linnaeus, Systema naturae, ed. 10, p. 149, 1758 (Sweden). 



One male, Nakon Sritamarat, March 13, 1929. 



The green sandpiper is a common winter visitor to every part of 

 Siam ^°; in Peninsular Siam, apparently, it is not so common, and I 

 have seen no previous record. 



The species breeds in northern Europe and Asia and winters to- 

 the southward. 



RHYACOPHILUS GLAREOLA (Linnaeus) 



Tringa glareola Linnaeus, Systema naturae, ed. 10, p. 149, 1758 (Sweden). 



Seven males and three females, Bangkok, March 2, September 17,^ 

 October 26, and December 26, 1925, October 23, and November 4, 

 1926; one male and one female, Potaram, February 4, 1926; two males,, 

 Kao Seming, Krat, October 11, 1928; one female. Ban Ho Kam,^ 

 February 28, 1929; one female. Nan, April 13, 1930; one male, two 

 females, and one unsexed, Sam Roi Yot, November 11, 1932; two 

 females. Bung Borapet, March 21 and 30, 1933. 



There is a male in the United States National Museum collected by 

 Dr. W. L. Abbott at Lay Song Hong, Trang, December 25, 1896. 



Judged from the number of specimens of the wood sandpiper con- 

 tained in collections from eastern Asia, it must be the commonest 

 migrant wader in the East. It breeds in northern Europe and Asia 

 and migrates south in the fall to Africa, India, southeastern Asia^ 

 the Malay Archipelago, and Australia. 



Gyldenstolpe '^^ in recording it from Koh Lak says that it is very 

 common in winter over the whole country ; Deignan ^^ reports it 

 abundant at Chiengmai from July to March. Evidently it is a 

 common winter visitor and migrant throughout Siam. 



ACTITIS HYPOLEUCOS (Linnaeus) 



Tringa hypoleucos Linnaeus, Systema naturae, ed. 10, p. 149, 1758 (Sweden). 



One female, Bangkok, October 28, 1925; one male and one female,
