34 ; MR, W. J. F. WILLIAMSON ON 
H. R. H. the Prince of Chumpon subsequently procured another 
at Pak-hai, Krung Kao, Central Siam, in March 1917, while I obtained 
a third specimen (solitary ) at Bangkok, in October 1917, of which 
the tollowing are the particulars :—— 
1¢ imm. ‘'T. L. 362 mm. W. 242. 
Iris reddish brown. Terminal third of bill black, remainder 
yellow. Lappets and edges of eyelids yellow. Legs greenish yellow. 
Claws black. 
51. €quatarola helvet’ca (Linn.). Zhe Grey Plover. 
Squatarola squatarola, Gyldenstolpe, 1916, p. 143. 
Gyldenstolpe records this species from Siam on the strength 
of having seen a specimen resting on the sandy beach just outside the 
village of Koh Lak, in South-western Siam. 
My collector obtained one (2) at Paknam Chantabun, 
South-eastern Siam, in March 1916. W. 200 mm. 
52. Limosa limosa (Linn. ). The Black-tailed Godwit. 
Limosa belgica, Faun. Brit. India, Birds, iv ( 1898 ), p. 254. 
Limosa melanuroides, Journ. Nat. Hist. Soc. Siam, ii, p. 62. 
I have previously recorded in this Journal ( loc. cit.) that a 
specimen of this bird was obtained by Mr. C.J. Aagaard on Koh 
Khwai, Inner Gulf of Siam, in November 1911. Last year 1 obtained 
two from the fields round Bangkok—-the first of which was shot by Major 
C. H. Forty, early in Ssptember, out of a flock of about 15 feeding on 
fairly wet, newly ploughed rice-land. The second was brought to me 
alive in November by a Siamese who had caught it the previous night 
by means of a small hand-net. The modus operandi is to sally forth 
on a dark night, with a torch carried by a second person, and to drop 
the net on to any bird seen on the ground. The birds, it appears, are 
fascinated by the light, and frequently make no attempt to get away, 
I have had many small waders ( including snipe ), as well as pipits, &c., 
brought to me by these men, 
2d. T. L. 894,— mm. W. 198, 182. 
Iris dark brown, ‘Terminal half of bill dark brown, basal 
half dull pinkish flesh. Legs dark brown. Claws dark brown.
