FURTHER NOTES ON THE BIRDS OF GILGIT. ya be | 
213.—Totanus glareola, Gimel. (884.) 
This Sandpiper was extremely plentiful in Gilgit for ten 
days in the beginning of August, when I secured several 
specimens. With one exception, they are much spotted beneath. 
315.—Tringoides hypoleucus, Lin. (893.) 
I obtained an adult male from the Deosai plain in July, 
and two immature birds and one adult in Gilgit on 7th, 
17th, and 25th August. The young birds are almost entirely 
white on the underparts of the neck and breast, and have the 
wing-coverts completely covered with fine banded markings 
of black and reddish brown. 
216.—Totanus glottis, Lin. (891.) 
I procured three specimens, in Gilgit, on the 10th, 14th, 
and 17th August. 
218.—Totanus calidris, Zin. (897.) 
I procured three specimens, all males, in summer plumage, 
in the beginning of August. 
219.—Himantopus candidus, Bonn. (898.) 
A specimen shot in Gilgit, 10th August. 
229.—Ardetta minuta, Lin, (935.) 
During the summer of 1880 I procured two specimens in 
Gilgit-—one, a male in full plumage, in July, the other, a 
female in immature plumage, on 29th August. 
230 a.—Falcinellus igneus, S. G. Gmel. (943 ) 
I procured a young male, in nearly full plumage, on the 16th 
September, 
245.—Larus ichthyaetus, Pallas. (979.) 
In my former paper on the birds of Gilgit (Zbis, 1881, 
p- 101), under the name of L. affiuis, Reinh., I noticed a 
specimen obtained 26th August, 1876, which has since beea 
pronounced to belong to L. ichthyaetus by Mr. Howard Saun- 
ders, who has favoured me with the following note :— 
“This specimen is a bird of the first year, just going to 
moult; that is to say, it was hatched about June 1875; its 
plumage is, therefore, rather more than a year old, and is con- 
sequently considerably worn and abraded. All immature 
Gulls of the same size are somewhat alike at the first glance ; 
but L ichthyaetus, jr., may be distinguished by the following 
characteristics:—In L. affinis, L, fuscus, L. argentatus, &e.,
