22 Mr. J. D. D. La Touche—Field-Notes on 
178. SQuaTAROLA HELVETICA (L.). 
Styan, Ibis, 1891, p. 503. 
I have occasionally seen bunches of this Plover being 
hawked about the streets in winter. 
179. AXerauitis PLacipus (Gray). 
Styan, [bis, 1891, p. 503. 
Not uncommon during winter. Small parties are to be 
seen in early spring. 
180. Meraritis Minor Wolf & Meyer. 
Styan, Ibis, 1891, p. 503. 
Common in spring. 
181. Recurvirostra Avocetta L. 
Styan, Ibis, 1891, p. 504. 
A few winter in the district. 
182. Numentrus Lingatus Cuv. 
Styan, Ibis, 1891, p. 508. 
A solitary Curlew seen on the river-banks on February 15 
was probably of this species. 
183. Toranus ciortis L. 
Styan, Ibis, 1891, p. 507. 
Fairly common in winter. 
184. Toranus cattpris (L.). 
Styan, Ibis, 1891, p. 507. 
185. Toranus ruscus (L.). 
Styan, Ibis, 1891, p. 507. 
I once met a man hawking bunches of these two species 
of Sandpipers. 
186. Toranus ocurorus (L.). 
Styan, Ibis, 1891, p. 506. 
Very common during winter on banks of creeks and 
ponds. I have, on one or two occasions, seen it at the end 
of July, and suspect that a few individuals may breed in 
the district *. 
* During the five years that I spent at Chinkiang I never saw a single 
example of the Common Sandpiper (7ringotdes hypoleucus).
