BIRDS OF TENASSERIM. 461 



884.— Tringa minuta, Leisl. (4). 



Amherst ; Mergui. 



Bare and seen only on and near the coast. 



884 6w.— Tringa ruficollis, Pall. (6). Descr. S. E., I., 

 24.2 ; 491. 



(Tonghoo, Rams.) Thatone ; Yea, near Tavoy. 



Only observed by Davison in the two latter localities, on both 

 occasions inland. 



By this species I mean sub minuta, Midd,, and not albescens, 

 Tern. Lord Tweeddale's remarks, B. of B., p. 156, as to the 

 synonymy of these species are, I think, erroneous. 



885. — Tringa temminckii, Leisler. (21). 



(Tonghoo, Rams.) Kedai-Keglay } Theinzeik ; Thatone ; Yea-boo ; Yea 5 

 Tavoy. 



Pretty common during" the cold season, about inland creeks 

 and pools, in the central portion of the province, and again in 

 the tracts west of the Sittang. 



886.— Limicola platyrhyncha, Tern. \2). 



Amherst. 



Never seen by Davison, but obtained by Dr. Armstrong at 

 Amherst. 



It is quite possible that some, or all, of our Burmese speci- 

 mens may pertain to Mr. Dresser's newly-described L. siberica, 

 S. F., V., 344, but I can discover no difference in size or color 

 between our Tenasserim specimens and others from Kurrachee, 

 Madras, Calcutta, the Andamans, and the neighbourhood of 

 Rangoon. 



I subjoin a few dimensions of specimens*from various locali- 

 ties ; for the sexing of the first five I can personally vouch, as 

 for the sexing of some of the others I am inclined to think 

 that some mistake has not improbably occurred.
