14. LiMOSA NOVAE-ZEALANDI-E. 



A pair ( d and 2 ) of tliis sj^ecies of Godwit was procured 

 by Mr. C. J. Aagaard at Cliaya, near Bandoii, J'eniiisular Siam, on 

 IStli June 1912, and has been identified by Mr. A. Christi.vni, of 

 Copenhagen. 



15. LiMOSA MELANUROinES. The Black-tailed Godwit. 



Mr. C. J. Aagaard obtained a specimen (<^) on Koh Khwai, 

 an island in the Inner Gulf of Siam, on 30th November, 1911. Tlie 

 bird was identified by Mr. A. Christiani, of Copenhagen. 



16. Macrorhamphus taczaxowskii. The Snipe-billed Godwit. 

 Mr. C. -T. Aagaard obtained a specimen (d) of this rare 



bird on the mud-flats near the mouth of the Lakon river, in l^eninsular 

 Siam, on Isb September 1911. It was identified by Mr. A. 

 Christiani, of Copenhagen. 



17. ToTAXUS STAG.XATiLis. The Marsh Sandpiper. 



What appears to be the earliest recorded specimen was 

 one shot by Mr C. J. Aagaard at Bang Boon, near Bangkok, on 17t]i 

 March 1912. I have also since obtained the bird near Tachin and 

 at Bangplasoi ( both of them localities not far from Bangkok^, in 

 March 1916. 



]Mr. C. Boden Kloss informs me that th.e record of this bird 

 from Langkawi, Kedah, at that time in Siam ( Ibis, 1911, p. 13) was 

 an error for I\h.ijacoi>liUus ijlarcola, The Wood Saiidjiiper. 



18. TmxGA SUMAKQUATA. The Curlew Stint. 



Recorded by Mr. C. J. Aagaard from Jjalcon, Peninsular 

 Siam, on dates ranging between 1st August and ]6th May, 1911-12 

 also from Chaya, near Bandon, Peninsular Siam, on 16th June 1012. 

 The last mentioned date is a very late one for the occurrence of this 

 bird in Southern Asia. Blaiiford ( Faun. Brit. India Birds, IV (1898) 

 p. 279 ) states tliat it leaves in Llay for its breeding haunts in the 

 far North. 



Messrs Robinson and Kloss have recorded this bird from Kuala 

 Kedah in November 1907, vide ' Ibis' 1911, y. Ik As Ki'dali ])assed 

 out of Siamese jurisdiction in 1909, the present record is worth making. 



19. Steuxa A.xciMC'A. The Gull-billed Tern. 



I obtained a pair of these birds { 1 cf ad., 1 S innn. ) at 

 Bangplasoi, C. Siam, at the head of the Gulf, on 19l1i March 1916.
