Abundant on migration in April and May, and from the 

 end of August till November ; the majority leave about tliat 

 time, but many stay for the winter in tlie plains, and a few 

 non-breeding birds through the summer. It passes up the 

 Kurram Valley in spring in great force, but does not stay to 

 breed. 



[1463.] ToTANUs sTAGNATiLis. The Marsh- Sandpiper. 



Not at all common, but a few individuals pass through 

 every year between February and the middle of May, being 

 generally found about the irrigated parts of the grass-farm.
