143. fNYCTicoRAX GKiSEUs (Linn.). Night-Heron. 

 Seldom seen in Portugal. 



144. *CicoNiA ALBA, Bechst. White Stork. " Cegonha." 



145. fPLATALEA LEUCORODiA, Linii. White Spoonbill. 

 " Colhereiro." 



Both these birds are to be met with in Alemtejo. Ibis fal- 

 cinellus is also reported to be found in the same district. 



146. fNuMENius ARQUATA (Linn.). Common Curlew. 

 " Maqarico real.'"' 



147. fNuMENius PH^opus (Linn.). Whimbrel. " Maqa- 

 ricoJ' 



Both these species are common. 



148. tNuMENius TENUiROSTRis, Vieill. Slender-billed Cur- 

 lew. " Maqarico." 



Frequently met with, though not so common as its con- 

 geners. 



149. fToTANUs CALiDRis (Linn.). Common Redshank. 

 " Chalretar 



150. tToTANUS HYPOLEUcus (Linn.). Common Sandpiper. 

 Both species common. These are the only i*epresentatives of 



the genus Totanus which I met with. I heard, however, of 

 several other species, as T.fuscus (Linn.), T. ochropus (Linn.), 

 and T. glottis (Linn.), but all, so far as I could ascertain, rather 

 rare. 



151. fHiMANTOPUSCANDiDUS, Bonuat. Black-winged Stilt. 

 This species is undoubtedly common, as is also Recurvirostra 



avocetta, Linn., known in Portugal under two names, " Alfmjate " 

 and " Frade." I did not, however, meet with it alive or dead. 



152. fLiMosA ^GOCEPHALA (Linn.). Black-tailed Godwit. 

 " Maqarico gallego." 



This species is pronounced common. Not quite so often met 

 with, but by no means rare, is its congener L. lapponica (Linn.), 

 known also as " Maqarico gallego'' 



153. fScoLOPAX RUSTicoLA, Linu. Woodcock. " Gallin- 

 hola."
