A LIST OF THE BIRDS OF PEGU. 237 
the frontier down to the sea. I got it high up on the hills, 
but it is not so common there as in the plains. 
351.—Turnix dussumieri, Jem. (835.) 
I procured a pair of this species at Pegu, but I have not 
been able to compare them with Indian birds. It appears to 
be rare. 
002.—Glareola orientalis, Leach. (842.) 
Abundant in the plains throughout Lower Pegu. — It arrives 
in February, and leaves in June or July, a very few birds 
remaining till August. It affects burnt up paddy fields, and 
does not appear to be a bird of the larger rivers like the next. 
353.—Gareola lactea, Tem. (843.) 
Extremely common on the sandbanks of the Irrawaddy, and 
Jess so in the Sittang.* Immense flocks of this bird come 
inland in the evening and hawk about for insects, wheeling 
about on the same spot for some ten minutes at a time. 
354.—Squatarola helvetica, Lin. (844.) 
Dr. Armstrong procured this bird at Elephant Point.t I 
have never seen it. 
355.—Charadrius fulvus, Gm, (845.) 
Very abundant throughout the plains portion of the pro- 
vince, coming in about 8th October. 
396.—Aigialitis geoffroyi, Wag. (846.) 
Procured at Elephant Puint by Dr. Armstrong. 
357.—Aigialitis mongola, Pall. (847.) 
Very abundant in the dry season. 
308.—Aigialitis cantiana, Lath. (848.) 
Procured in the Rangoon river by Dr. Armstrong, and at 
Tounghoo by Captain Ramsay. 
309.—Aigialitis dubia, Scop. (849.) 
Distributed throughout the delta of the Irrawaddy, and the 
streams of Lower Pegu, but not very abundant.

near the mouth of the Bassein river.—Ep., 8S. F.
