18 NOTES ON THE AVIFAUNA OF MOUNT ABOO 
892.— Actitis ochropus, Lin. 
The Green Sandpiper is common on the hills and in the 
plains during the rains and in the cold weather. It begins to 
arrive about the end of July. 
893.—Actitis hypoleucos, Lin. 
The Common Sandpiper occurs round the edges of most of 
the tanks between Deesa and Ahmedabad in the cold weather 
and in all of the rivers. 
894.—Totanus glottis, Lin. 
The Greenshanks is sparingly scattered over the tanks in 
the cold weather. 
(This, as well as the two preceding, occurs throughout the 
entire region, but the Greenshanks is in many localities far from 
common.—A. O. H.] 
895.—Totanus stagnatilis, Bechs. 
The Lesser Greenshanks, like the last species, is not very 
common, but occurs sparingly throughout the tank country. 
[Not uncommon in suitable localities in Jodhpoor, but not yet 
received or reported from Sindh, Cutch or Kattiawar.—A. 
O. H 
896.—Totanus fuscus, Zin. 
The Spotted Redshanks is not uncommon, occurring along 
the edges of most of the tanks in the cold weather. 
[Occurs sparingly, except in Sindh where it is pretty common, 
throughout the entire region.—A. O. H.] 
897.—Totanus calidris, Zin. 
The Redshanks is not uncommon in the cold weather, but 
I have never observed it in large flocks as stated by Dr. 
Jerdon; on the contrary I have almost invariably met with it 
either singly or in pairs. 
[Common throughout the entire region.—A. O. H.] 
898.—Himantopus intermedius, Blyth. 
The Stilt or Longlegs is very common in the plains in the 
cold weather, arriving about the end of July. It occurs also 
occasionally round the edges of the Lake at Mount Aboo. 
[Common throughout the entire region.—A. O. H.] 
899.—Recurvirostra avocetta, Linn. 
The Avoset is not common, but may be met with singly 
and in small parties along the edges of many of the tanks be- 
tween Deesa and Ahmedabad in the cold weather.
