is a somewhat rare winter visitor ; particulars of 

 its range and movements are almost unknown. 



62. THE TURNSTONE Strepsilas interpres (Lin- 

 naeus), is a winter visitor to the coasts of Algeria, 

 but its range and movements are little known. 



63. THE BLACK-TAILED GOD WIT Limosa mela- 

 nura, Leisler, is a winter visitor to the coasts of 

 Algeria ; its range is undefined. 



64. THE BAR-TAILED GODWIT Limosa rufa, 

 Brisson, is also a winter visitor to the coasts, but 

 irregularly dispersed. 



65. THE MARSH SANDPIPER Totanus stagnatilis, 

 Bechstein, is a winter visitor to Algeria, but doubt- 

 less the greater number of individuals pass through 

 on migration in spring and autumn. I met with 

 this species in the oasis of El Outaia in May. 

 Taczanowski observed it at the Fezzara Lake. 



66. THE GREENSHANK Totanus glottis (Linnaeus), 

 is a winter visitor to Algeria, where it is very widely 

 dispersed. Taczanowski states that it is to be met 

 with on the lakes in all parts of the country. 



67. THE DUSKY REDSHANK Totanus Juscus, Lin- 

 naeus, is a winter visitor to the lakes and marshes 

 of Algeria. Taczanowski met with this species at 

 the Fezzara Lake.
