Birds of the Pamir Range. 75 



99. ToTANus HYPOLEUcus, Linn. 



The Common Sandpiper breeds in great numbers on the 

 Bash-Alai, on brook-swamps along rivers. 



-f-lOO. Tringa pugnax, Linn. 



The Euff was numerous in August near the Kara-kul and 

 Ran-kul lakes, and was obtained on the Alichur at the com- 

 mencement of that month with remains of the breeding-plu- 

 mage. At the end of the month only young were seen. It 

 probably breeds on the Pamir. 



-f-lOl. Tkinga subarquata, Giild. 



Curlew-Sandpipers were observed in the Pamir in July, 

 in their breeding-plumage, which they throw off in August, 

 and then migrate, the young only being left. They probably 

 breed there, because the other northern Limicolce do not pass 

 through earlier than the end of August. 



-1-102. Tringa alpina, Linn. 



The Dunlin migrates through the Pamir about the begin- 

 ning of September. 



103. Tringa minuta, Leisl. 



The Little Stint is found throughout August in the Pamir. 

 After the 16th many young birds wei-e observed, but whether 

 bred there or not I cannot say. 



104. Tringa temmincki, Leisl. 



Temrainck^s Stint was very numerous, and was seen every- 

 where on the Alai at the end of July and on the Pamir 

 throughout August. It breeds there. 



105. Tringa platyrhyncha, Temm. 



One specimen of the Broad-billed Sandpiper was collected 

 at Kara-kul on August 17th, before the migration-season — 

 perhaps a single bird which had passed the summer there. 



^106. Phalaropus hyperboreus (Linn.). 



The Red-necked Phalarope was obtained during migration 

 in the Pamir Alichur on September 8th, and near Kara-kul 

 on September 17th.
