558 Lt.-Col. G. Rippon on the Birds 



375. Charadrius fulvus Grael. (1439.) 



Fairly common at the beginning of the cold season^ but 

 does not stay in any large numbers throughout it. 



376. ^GiALiTis DUBiA (Scop.)- (1447.) 

 Common. 



377. HiMANTOPUs CANDiDUs Bonu. (1451.) 



Very common and conspicuous, especially on the river 

 from Fort Stedman lake to Loikaw. 



378. NuMENius ARQUATA (Liuu.). (1454.) 



There are always a few Curlews to be met with at the 

 beginning of the cold season on the Fort Stedman lake. I am 

 sure that I have seen Limo^a belyica (Gmel.), but I have 

 never shot one in the Shan States. 



379. ToTANUs HYPOLEUCUs (Liuu.). (1460.) 

 Common. 



380. ToTANUS GLAREOLA (Gmcl.) . (1461.) 

 Very common. 



381. ToTANUs ocHROPUs (Liuu.). (1462.) 

 Common. 



382. ToTANUs cALiDRis (Liuu.). (1464.) 

 Common. 



383. ToTANUs GLOTTIS (Liuu.). (1466.) 



384. Tringa subminuta Middend. (1475.) 

 Very common. 



385. ScoLOPAX rusticula Linn. (1482.) 



Probably fairly common in suitable places above about 

 4000 feet. A certain number are shot at Tounggyi every 

 year. 



386. Gallinago nemoricola Hodgs. (1483.) 



Fairly common, as the last. I have one skin obtained 

 near Bampon by Capt. W. S. Prentis. 



387. Gallinago c^lestis (Frenzel). (1484.) 



I think that this is the commonest Snipe at tiie beginning 

 of the season, while the next species takes its place later on.
