524 ORNITHOLOGICAL SKETCHES 
Karnak I found two kinds of Sandpipers and two Common 
Snipe resting on the bare stone, being probably tired with a 
long journey, and in a little marsh near Ismailia I met with 
this bird in great abundance. In Palestine I saw several 
solitary individuals among the bushes and mountain-streams 
of the Jordan valley.

Only in the true marshes of Lower Egypt, and even there

Regularly seen on the Lakes and the Nile, but nowhere 
common. 
85. TRINGA MARITIMA. 
Only observed on the shores of the Red Sea, but there in 
great flocks. 
86. TRINGA SUBARQUATA. Pygmy Curlew. 
Frequently seen on the Red Sea, but nowhere else. 
87. TRINGA ALPINA. Dunlin.
