50. Oystkr-catcheh. {Hinmatopus ostraleyas.) 

 Appears to remain here all the year round, but I doubt its 



breeding. 



51. Snipe. [Gall'mago, sp. inc.) 



A Snipe is occasionally met with in the flooded fields near 

 Lahej and also in the bed of the river, but I have only seen 

 one. 



52. Terek Sandpiper. {Terekia cinerea.) 



Cold- weather visitant, when it is met with on the mud-flats 

 up the harbour. 



53. Curlew. {Numenius arquata.) 



54. Whimbrel. {Numenius phaopus.) 

 Appear to remain all the year round. 



55. Dunlin. {Tringa cinclus.) 



A regular winter visitor. Those shot in May were as- 

 suming the summer plumage. 



56. Sanderling. [Calidris arenaria.) 

 Cold-weather visitant. 



57. Common Sandpiper. {Actitis hypoleiica.) 

 Common on the rocks and on the coast all the year round. 



58. Greenshank. [Totanus ockropus.) 



59. Redshank. [Totanus calidris.) 



According to Mr. Chevallier, the latter species is common 

 on the mud-flats up the harbour. The Greenshank, Redshank, 

 aud Sanderling are often seen in large flocks.

62. Courier Plover, {Cursorius, sp. inc.) 



A Courier Plover was shot by Mr. Chevallier on two occa- 

 sions, near the Barrier Gate and at Huswah. I also saw two 

 at Haith-al-him on the 30th of December, 1884.
