This specimen still has a great deal of the summer rufous on 



the upper plumage, and the outer rectriees all have broad white 



edges.

Scolopax gallinago, Linn. S\\st. Nat. i, p. 147(1758). 



This bird has pure white axillaries and very broad white 



edges to the feathers of the under wing-coverts, the feature by 



which the supposed eastern form, G. g. raddel is divided from the 



western. This characteristic is, however, so very irregular that it 



cannot possibly be considered of sub-specific value. Many birds 



from the extreme East are as dark as any from the extreme West, 



though it is but rarely that very white under wings are found in 



western birds.

Both these birds are in rather abraded plumage with 

 wings of 320.5 and 317.4 mm. respectively, and both also, have 

 remains of juvenile plumage on wings and tails. 



Blanford gives Burma as the furthest limit east of this gull's 

 range, so Siam is yet a further extension.

Both these females are in full breeding plumage, and this 



species is of course a resident breeding bird in Siam.
