[The Grey Plover, Sijuatarola squatarola (L.), whicli is a 

 winter visitor to Sardinia, probably also occurs in Corsica, 

 but has not yet been definitely recorded.] 



183. Vanellus vanellus (L.). Lapwing. 



A common winter visitor. Whitehead found it very 

 common on the east coast, and Backhouse and Parrot record 

 large flocks on the Campo de FOro. None were seen after 

 March 14 by Whitehead, and Parrot states that they had 

 left on the 17th. 



184. AllENARIA INTERPRES (L.). TumstOUC. 



Giglioli records this species as killed at Cape Pertusato 

 on September 25. 



185. Machetes pugnax (L.). Buff. 



Jesse shot an example on February 1 near Lake Biguglia, 

 and Whitehead saw several small parties between April 15 

 and 28. We met with a flock of about twelve non-breeding 

 birds in the east coast lagoons on May 31, and on May 15 

 saw others which, I believe, belonged to this species. 



186. Calidris leucoph.ea (Pall.). Sanderling. 

 Giglioli records this species as killed at Cape Pertusato 



on September 25. 



187. Pelidna alpina (L.). Dunlin. 



Whitehead noted a few in winter on the east coast, and 

 shot one on March 16 ; Giglioli records this species as seen 

 at Isola Rossa on October 7. 



188. Pelidna ferruginea (Briinn.) {P. sub arquat a unci.). 

 Curlew-Sandpiper. 



Occurs on passage in small flocks of from three to fifteen, 

 according to Whitehead, who shot three specimens on May 8, 

 1883 (one in summer plumage), and noticed a large flock 

 (all in summer plumage) on May 16, while on May 7, 1884, 

 he again met with a small flock and shot one bird. 



189. Pelidna minuta (Leisl.). Little Stint. 

 Whitehead only saw three or four, and shot a pair on 



Mav 7.
