388 'Sir. H. Saunders un the 



Totanus stagnutilis has not been obtained within my limits ; 

 but I may mention that there is a specimen in the Barcelona 

 museum^ and it doubtless occurs in other parts of Spain. 



225. ACTITIS HYPOLEUCA. 



Obtained in winter at Malaga. 



226. LiMOSA ^GOCEPHALA, 



Not uncommon in winter, and abundant in March, on pas- 

 sage. 



227. LiMOSA RUFA. 



Of rare occurrence in western Spain, but far more common 

 to the east. I saw an individual in the Malaga market in 

 November. 



228. Machetes pugnax. " Conibatiente/' a name by no 

 means generally known. 



Common in autumn, and somewhat less so in spring, when I 

 obtained many males with half-developed ruflFs. 



229. Tringa canutus. 



Occurs in autumn and spring. I have seen it in tolerably 

 rufous plumage in May. 



230. Pelidna subarquata. 



Obtained in May, in the fullest breeding-plumage, on its 

 way north. 



231. Pelidna maritima,'i Both these species are very nu- 



232. Pelidna cinclus. / merous in winter. 



233. Actodromas minuta, ^ 



234. Actodromas temmincki. J 



I have examined specimens of both these species in winter ; 

 but being considered too small for eating, they are rarely brought 

 into the markets. Indeed, throughout Spain, small birds are 

 at a discount. 



235. Calidris arenaria. 



Abundant in autumn and part of winter; but early in 

 spring I lost sight of them, and failed to obtain specimens in 

 any approach to breeding-plumage.
