408 MR. R. SWINHOE ON THE BIRDS OF CHINA. [May 2, 



cured by a sporting friend in Formosa, and he sent it to me as the 

 only one he had ever met with in our part of the world. 



556. Rhynch^a bengalensis (L.); Ibis, 1865, pp. 230, 347, 

 1866, p. 137, 1870, p. 362 ; P. Z. S. 1863, p. 314. 



Rhunchcea sinensis, Lath. Ibis, 1864, p. 370, 1867, p. 404. 



Rhyncham orientalis, Horsf. 



Rhynchops sinensis, Ibis, 1861, p. 267. 



Throughout China and Formosa in summer. I find that Painted 

 Snipes from Africa have the chin bare, which is not the case with 

 specimens from India and China. R. capensis (Gmel.) may there- 

 fore rank as a distinct species. 



557. Calidris arenaria(L.); Ibis, 1860, p. 359, 1861, p. 342, 

 1863, p. 414, 1870, p. 363 ; P. Z. S. 1863, p. 315. 



General in winter. 



558. Strepsilas interpres (L.) ; Ibis, 1860, p. 359, 1861, 

 p. 342, 1862, p. 255, 18G3, p. 414, 1870, p. 361 ; P. Z. S. 1863, 

 p. 315; Zoologist, 1860, p. 7103. 



559. Lobipeshyperboreus(L.); Ibis, 1861, p.412, 1863,p. 415, 

 1865, p. 358, 1870, p. 363 ; P. Z. S. 1863, p. 315 ; Zoologist, 1861, 

 p. 7643. 



560. Tringa tenuirostris (Horsf.) ; P. Z. S. 1863, p. 315. 



Totanus crassirostris, T. & S. Faun. Jap. lxiv. 

 Schcenic/us magnus, Gould, B. of Austr. vi. pi. 33. 



561. Tringa canuttjs, L. ; P. Z. S. 1863, p. 315. 

 Procured at Shanghai. 



562. Tringa platyrhyncha, Temm. ; Ibis, 1862, p. 255, 1863, 

 p. 412, 1870, p. 363; P. Z. S. 1863, p. 316. 



Limicola pygmcea, Midd. Sib. Reise. 



China and Formosa in winter. The Tringa pygmaa of Latham, 

 as Prof. Newton has proved to me, is based on T. subarcuata, and 

 the name ought not to be applied to this species. 



563. Tringa cinclus, var. chinensis. 



Tringa chinensis, Gray, Zool. Misc. p. 2 ; Ibis, 1862, p. 255. 



Tringa cinclus, Ibis, 1860, p. 66, 1861, p.412, 1863, pp. 97, 411; 

 P. Z. S. 1863, p. 316. 



Tringa subarquata, Ibis, 1861, p. 342. 



Tringa alpina, Ibis, 1866, p. 136, 1870, p. 363. 



In length and thickness of bill surpassing T. cinclus, var. ameri- 

 cana, Baird, with longer toes. In summer dress remarkable for the 

 big black blotches on its breast, and for the blackness and want of 

 Bufescence of its upper parts.
