A specimen of Sabine's Sni[)e was shot in the All)ufera 

 on 27 February, 1920, but was so mangled by the dog that 

 retrieved it that it was not possible to preserve it. 



177. Gallinago media. Great Snipe. 



Included in v. Jordans' list on the authority of Barcelo. 



178. Limnocryptes gallinula. Jack Snipe. 



A few occur in the winter in the same localities as the 

 C;ommon Snipe^ but they are not abundant. I trod on one 

 once in the Alcudia marshes ; it left some of its feathers 

 beneath my foot. 



Included in v. Jordans' list. 



179. Calidris canutus. Knot. 



Some small [)arties of this species frequented the marshes 

 near Puerto Alcudia in October and November, 1920. 



180. Erolia minuta. Little Stint. 



On 20 May, 1921, I shot an example in the marshes near 

 the Port; two others were near it and were absurdly tame. 

 They were still about on 26 May, and associated sometimes 

 with the Kentish Plovers.
