A CONTRIBUTION TO THE ORNITHOLOGY OF GILGIT. 141 
few birds remain about Gilgit throughout the winter; but 
they are found in fair numbers in autumn and spring, on 
passage. 
208.—Limosa xgocephala, Lin. (875.) 
This species is found in Gilgit on migration only, in spring 
Curing the first half of April, and in autumn in the third 
week in September. The folloviing are dimensions of a male 
in summer plumage, and of a female in winter-dress :-— 
Male.—Length, 17:1 in.; wing, 8°45; tarsus, 3°15; bill at front, 4 
Female.—Length, 19°7 ,, ny ett: Sites H yee! 
209.—Machetes pugnax, Lin. (880.) 
Not uncommon on passage; in spring observed in the third 
week in March, and in autumn obtained from the first week in 
September to the middle of October. 
211.—Tringa minuta, Leis/. (884.) 
The Little Stint is common in Gilgit on passage: in spring 
it was found during the first week in April; and I shot it on 
its way southwards from the 12th September to the 26th 
October. 
212.—Tringa temmincki, Zeisl. (885.) 
Temminck’s Stint is also common in Gilgit during the season 
of migration. I obtained it on its way north from the 14th 
to the 22nd May, and while it was passing southwards from 
the 10th September to the 23rd October. 
213.—Totanus glareola, Zin. (891.) 
This species is less common in Gilgit than 7. ochropus or 
T. hypoleucus. On its northward migration it is found with 
us from the 23rd April to the middle of May. It is never 
seen between May and September. On its autumnal migra- 
tion it appears about the 12th September, and remains in the 
district only a very short time. 
214.—Totanus ochropus, Lin. (892.) 
Very common on migration from the beginning of April 
to about the middle of May; and again from the middle of 
August to the end of September. A few rare stragelers 
pass the winter in the district, as I shot a specimen once on 
the 3rd January. 
215.—Tringoides hypoleucus, Zin. (893.) 
Common on passage to the north from the 12th April to 
the 23rd May ; on its way southwards it first appeared on 
‘15.
