BIIiDS SEEN DURING DARDANELLES CAMPAIGN. 133 



A single bird on the cliff- top on November 30th, in the cold 

 weather. 



[On June 5th and 7th a large game-bird flew over the 

 trenches ; I cannot make any suggestion as to its identity.] 



Crane {Grm sp. ?). 



Two on May 17th, with a flock of Storks, but they were too 

 far away for it to be possible to determine the species. 



Stone Curlew {(Edicnemus scolopax). 



I heard them each evening during May, and saw them on a 

 weedy, stony upland near "X Beach," where they probably were 

 accustomed to breed. On June 21st I saw one in the fields near 

 the " Pink Farm." 



Grey Plover {Squatarola helvetica). 



Two on the mud by Mudros Harbour, Lemnos,on January 3rd. 



Kentish Plover {Mgialitis cantiana). 



I saw a flock on the mud-flat, Lemnos, from January 3rd 

 to 12th ; twenty was the greatest number seen. 



[Little Kinged Plover {Mgialitis curonica). 



I believe that three I saw on July 10th, on the sand beside 

 a lagoon on Imbros, were of this species ; one was a young 

 bird.] 



Common Snipe {Gallinago ccelestis). 



One on Lemnos on January 9th. I heard of others, and also 

 of Woodcock, on the Peninsula, but saw none there myself. 



Dunlin {Tringa alpina). 



Three on the mud-flat, Lemnos, on January 3rd, and two or 

 three there till January 12th. 



Little Stint {Tringa minuta). 



Two Stints on the Lemnos mud-flat on January 6th were 

 probably of this species, which I had seen fairly commonly in 

 Egypt. 



Eedshank {Totanus calidris). 



One on the Lemnos mud-flat on January 6th. 



Common Sandpiper {Totanus hypoleucus). 



One on August 26th, on the edge of the sea at Gully 

 Beach. 



Tern {Sterna sp. ?). 



Either Common or Arctic Terns were seen several times 

 during the cold weather, always passing up the coast in a
