(241) T, sTAGNATALis. — The Little Greenshank. 

 Blanford, No. 1463 ; Hume, No, 895. 

 I have found this species scarce in the sub-division, but in the vicinity of 

 Baghownie near the jheels they are fairly common. I have no notes on any 

 procured before November. They remain till March. 



(242) T. CALiDRis.— The Redshank. 

 Blanford, No. 1464 ; Hume, No. 897. 

 Scroope once wrote me the following : — "I think T. calidris occurs. Its cry 

 is unmistakeable." I have never come across it. 



(243) T. FDSCus.— The Spotted Redshank. 



Blanford, No. 14o5 ; Hume, No. 896, 



Very common cold weather visitant. The earliest arrival was noticed on 



the 21st September and they remain till April. Those got in the latter 



month were in full or partial breeding plumage. One bird had its gullet full 



of small fish. 



(244) T. GLOTTIS. — The Greenshank. 



Blanford, No. 1466 ; Hume, No. 894, 



Exceedingly common during the cold weather. I have seen solitary birds 



on the 17th July, 1899, the 22nd August, 1899, and on the 28th June, 1901, but 



they generally arrive about September and leave in March, A bird shot in 



August had still some of the dark-brown spots of the summer plumage. They 



usually go about in flocks and are commoner near the rivers than the jheels. 



(245) Pavoncella pugnax. — The Ruff and Reeve. 



Blanford, No. 1468 ; Hume, No. 880. 



Common round about Narhar arid also near Baghownie. They arrive 



about the middle of September. A few birds show traces of the breeding 



plumage of the male. In this species the palate is very rough with blunt 



spikes on it leaning backwards. 



(246) Teinga MiNDTA. — The Little Stint. 

 Blanford, No. 1471 5 Hume, No. 884. 



Very common near the jheels in the cold weather. They go about in flocks. 



(247) T. TEMMiNCKi. — Temminck's Stint. 

 Blanford, No. 1474 ; Hume, No, 875. 



Also a common cold weather visitant. 



(248) T. ALPiNA.— The Dunlin. 

 Blanford, No. 1478 ; Hume, No. 883. 

 Mr. G. Dalgleish shot a male out of a small flock seen at Hatauri on the 

 12th February, 1898. He very kindly let me have the skin. On the 14th 

 January, 1901 , one of my men saw some birds which I think were this species. 

 They were on the edge of the Ootidee chaur near a large flock of godwits. 

 Sub-family Scolopacinae. 

 (249) ScOLOPAX KUSTicuLA.— The Woodcock. 

 Blanford, No. 1482 ; Hume, No. 867. 

 No occurrence known in the sub-division. A woodcock was shot at 

 Tewarrah in this district by the late Mr. Ikey Barton.
