Abundant in the plains, I have not met with any in the

832.—Turnix taigoor, Sykes. 
The only one I saw was oneT snared off a nest containing

856.—Lobipluvia malabarica, Bodd. 
Very common. Eggs taken on the 17th May. 
871.—Gallinago ceelestis, Frenzi. 
Very common. There is a village on the outskirts of Man- 
zeerabad, and in Coorg, where the common Snipe, the season 
before last (1881), were so plentiful that they rose by the dozen. 
I was not prepared for this, consequently only had a few 
cartridges with me, but perhaps it was just as well I was not, 
for I so completely lost my head at seeing them rise in such 
numbers and on every side of me, that instead of fixing 
my attention to a single bird, I fired more into the brown 
of them. It ended in my getting one bird for 13 shots! . 
872.—Gallinago gallinula, Zin. 
I bagged a brace last season, 1882, the only ones I saw. 
873.—Rhynchea capensis, Lin. 
In overlooking a friend’s “ bag” of 13} brace I saw 24 brace 
of “ Painted Snipe.”
