Mr. E. C. 'l\iyhn-—E(/t/j,t Revisited. (j[) 



122. Ch.etusialeucuua, Lichtcnstein. White-tailed Plover. 

 On my secoud trip to Egypt I revisited, in the month of 



Mai'ch, the same marsh near Thebes where I had previously 

 obtained this rare bird in the month of January ; but I was too 

 late ; for the marsh was dried up, and the Plovers were gone. 

 In the following winter, a friend of mine visited the same marsh 

 in January, and obtained at least a dozen specimens, all of 

 which I have seen. I never knew of this species being found 

 in Egypt, except in this one marsh between Thebes and Er- 

 ment. The bird is very well figured in 'The Ibis' for 1865 

 (pi. X.) J but all the specimens that I have seen from Egypt have 

 the tail-feathers entirely white, and not banded with brown as in 

 that plate. This may be a mark of immaturity. Irides red. 



123. H/EMATopus osTRALEGUs, L. Oystcr- catchcr. 

 Seen on the shore of the Red Sea near Suez. 



124. HiMANTOPUs CANDiDUs, Bonnatcrre. lilack-vviuged 

 Stilt. 



Frequently seen, and occasionally shot. 



125. ToTANUs GLOTTIS (L.). Grccnshank. 

 Occasionally shot. 



126. ToTANUS sTAGNATiLis, Bechstcin. Marsh Sandpiper. 



Rather a rare species. Once shot on my first visit, and oc- 

 casionally seen on my second. In appearance it much re- 

 sembles the Greenshank in miniature. 



127. ToTANUS ocHROPUs (L.). Green Sandpiper. 

 Very common in all suitable localities. 



128. ToTANis GLAREOLA (L.). Wood Sandpiper. 

 Rare. One specimen procured. 



129. Tringoides hypoleucus (L.). Common Sandpij)er. 

 Tolerably abundant, but less so than T. ochropus. 



130. Tringa minuta, Leisler. Little Stint. 

 Occasionally occurs in small flocks. 



131. Tringa temmincki, Leisler. Temmiuck's Stint. 

 A few specimens procured.
