334. TOTANUS GLAREOLA (L.). 



{C>QQ^) A common spring and autumn migrant, very rarely 

 found in winter. I was surprised one day to see one alight 

 on a pond in deep water, swim to the shallows, and quietly 

 begin to feed. 



335. ToTANUS CALIDRIS (L.). 



(665.) A spring and autumn migrant, not very common. 



336. ToTANUS FUSCUS (L.). 



(664.) More plentiful than the last, a few remaining all 

 winter. In May I have obtained them in full breeding- 

 plumage. On 31st March, out of a dozen birds, several were 

 in nearly full plumage, others in winter dress, and others 

 intermediate. 



337. ToTANUS GLOTTIS, L. 



(662.) Common in winter until the end of April ; re- 

 appears in October. 



338. ToTANUs iNCANUs, Vicill. 



(668.) Killed in summer plumage in May near Shanghai 

 by Pere David. A specimen in the Museum is dated April. 



339. Terekia cinerea (Gm.). 



(659.) Shanghai market in May ; scarce. 



340. LiMosA uropygialis, Gould. 

 (657.) Shanghai market in spring. 



341. LiMOSA melanuroides, Gould. 



(658.) L. brevipes, G. R. Gray; Swinhoe, P. Z. S. 1871, 

 p. 406. 



Shanghai market in spring. 



342. Ereunetes taczanowskii (Verr.). 



(680.) Pseudoscolopax semipalmatus, Jerd. ; Swinhoe, 

 P. Z. S. 1871, p. 407. 



Passes through Shanghai in March and April. Two shot 

 on 28th March were in winter plumage; the stomachs 

 contained shells, crabs, and young shoots of the reeds which 

 were just beginning to show above the mud of the river-banks. 

 One killed on 11th April was in nearly full breeding-plumage. 

 Obtained in HankoAV bv Swinhoe.
