Birds of Foochow and Swatow. 499 



■^ 283. Tringa subarcuata^ Giildenst. [677.] 



Passes Foochow in April, May, and beginning of June. I 

 obtained a specimen at the beginning of August, but did not 

 notice any later on in the season. 



" 284. Tringa ACUMINATA (Horsf.). [673.] 



Very abundant on marshy land at Foochow during April 

 and May. 



-f- 285. Tringa ruficollis, Pall. [676.] 



Passes the Foochow district in April and May, and is very 

 abundant. It returns in September. I saw large flocks on 

 the coast at the end of September; those shot were all in 

 winter plumage. 



-f- 286. Tringa subminuta, Midd. 



Obtained at Foochow in April. It does not appear to be 

 abundant. 



This Stint may be distinguished from the preceding species, 

 when fresh, by the colour of the legs (which is olive-green), 

 and always by its long hind toe. 



-j- 287. Tringa temmincki, Leisl. [678.] 



Foochow and Swatow in winter. Rather scarce. 



-;/'~288, Tringa platyrhyncha, Temm, [674.] 



I saw large flocks of this Wader on the Foochow coast in 

 September. They remain rather late, as I obtained 

 specimens in November. 



289. Calidris arenaria (Linn.). [670.] 



Foochow coast in autumn from the end of August, and 

 Swatow coast in winter. 



290. Tringoides hypoleucus (Linn.). [669.] 

 Resident and common in the Foochow district, and also 



most probably at Swatow, but I do not remember seeing the 

 bird in summer at that port. 



-f- 291. Eurynorhynchus pygm^us (Linn.). [679.] 



The Spoonbill Sandpiper seems to be a regular autumn 

 migrant on the Foochow coast, but it is not abundant. I 

 obtained specimens at the end of September, in October, and 

 in November.
