A very common winter visitor to Siam. It generally occurs on the sandy shores, 
on the mud flats or on the estuaries along the coast of the Gulf of Siam and was mixed up 
among the flocks of the other kind of Sand Plovers having their winter quarters in this 
part of the world. 
313. Himantopus himantopus. Linn. — The Black-winged Stilt. 
Small flocks of the Black-winged Stilt were observed on the swampy country south 
of the town of Ratburi, when I was going down by rail to Koh Lak at the beginning of 
January 1915. 
Winter visitor only, and as far as I know, it has not been recorded from Siam before. 
Even in the Malay Peninsula it is very rare and ROBINSON only records a single specimen 
in his valuable »Handlist of the Birds of the Malay Peninsula» (1910). 
314. Numenius arquata. Linn. ~— The Curlew. 
Numenius arquata: Robinson & Kloss p. 12. 
The Curlew does not seem to be very common in Siam, where only a few specimens 
were met with during my stay in the Siamese Malaya from November 1914 to February 
1915. 
315. Totanus calidris. Linn. — The Redshank. 
Totanus totanus: Gyldenstolpe I p. 70. 
Totanus calidris: Barton p. 109; Robinson & Kloss p. 12; Robinson III p. 725. 
A common winter visitor to the swamps of Central and Lower Siam. It also oc- 
curred in great numbers on the mud flats along the shores of the Gulf of Siam associated 
with the other kind of wading-birds wintering in this part of the world. 
316. Totanus ochropus. Linn. — The Green Sandpiper. 
Totanus ochropus: Gyldenstolpe I p. 69; Gyldenstolpe Il; Gyldenstolpe III p. 236; Williamson I p. 48; Barton 
p. 109. 
The Green Sandpiper is a common winter visitor to every part of Siam. It, however, 
always occurs single or in parties of two or three birds, never in large flocks. It is found 
almost in every part of the country where there are marshes and pools and it even occurs 
on the paddy-fields.
