Notes from Morocco. 253 



95. Squatarola helvetica. 



One obtained from Olcese, a male, in perfect summer 

 plumage, had been shot near Tangier on the 20th June, 1883. 



96. Vanellus vulgaris. 

 Very abundant everywhere. 



97. HiMANTOPUS CANDIDUS. 



Favier states (Irby, op. cit. p. 164) that this bird is not 

 found near Tangier. I shot three in November 1873 in the 

 marshes at Sharf-el-Akab, only twelve miles from Tangier. 



98. scolopax rusticula. 



99. Gallinago ccelestis. 



100. limnocryptes gallinula. 

 Common in suitable places. 



101. Tringoides hypoleucus. 



Frequently seen, especially on the banks of the tidal river 

 Koos, near Laraish. 



102. Helodromas ochropus. 



We met with the Green Sandpiper repeatedly. 



103. TOTANUS calidris. 



Abundant in the Laraish valley, and universally dis- 

 tributed. 



104. LiMOSA iEGOCEPHALA. 



Only one recorded by us, in a small freshwater lagoon 

 uear El Hemis. 



105. NUMENIUS ARQUATA. 



Very common at Masharalhaddar, also in the Laraish 

 valley. 



106. NUMBNIUS TENUIROSTRIS. 



Abundant in the Laraish valley, where I obtained speci- 

 mens from flocks numbering from twenty to a hundred. 

 Numerous flocks also met with at Masharalhaddar. The 

 note is like that of A'^. arquata {" cur-wee, cur-wee "), but not 

 so loud or musical.
