AVIFAUNA OF CHOTA NAGPUK. 431 



235,— Galinago stenura, Temm. (870.) 



Captain Beavan says of the Pin-tail Snipe : — " A fine speci- 

 men killed by me at Ambeekanuggur in Manbhum was larger 

 than stated by Dr. Jerdon. Its length was 13"'5 from the 

 tip of the bill to the end of the middle toe, the bill was 

 2*75, and its weight was over four ounces/' 



I have obtained this bird in the vicinity of Calcutta, but 

 never in Chota Nagpur. 



236.— Gallinago scolopacinus, Bonap. (871.) 



The Common Snipe occurs in suitable localities, but not in 

 great abundance throughout the Division. 



I have no personal knowledge of the occurrence of the Jack 

 Snipe in Chota Nagpur.* 



237.— Rhyncliaea bengalensis, Lin. (873.) 



The Painted Snipe is found throughout. I doubt if it ever 

 leaves some parts. In April 1 have frequently flushed it 

 from under the shelter of Tamarix bushes in the beds of 

 rivers. 



238 —Tringa minuta, Leisler. (884.) 



The Little Stint is the only species of Tringa which I have 

 collected in Chota Nagpur ; others not improbably occur. 



239.— Rhyacophilus glareola, Lin. (891.) 



The Spotted Sandpiper. In all the rivers of Chota Nagpur. 



240.— Heiodromus ochropus, Lin. (892.) 



The Green Sandpiper. Same as the preceding. 



241.— Actitis liypoleucos, Lin. (893.) 



The Common Sandpiper. Same. 



242.— Totanus glottis, Lin. (894.) 



The Greenshanks is common in Chota Nagpur. I have not 

 collected any other species of Totanus in the Division. 



PARRID^]. 



243.— Metopodius indicus, Lath. (900.) 



The Bronze-winged Jacana is not common in Chota Nagpur, 

 except where large jheels and tanks are numerous.
