321. Telmatias Faeroeensis Brehm. 



Telmatias Faeroeensis "Brehxi, Handb. Naturg. Vog, DeutscM. p. 617 (1831 — Breeding on the Faero© 

 Islands). 



Tjrpe : S ad., Faeroe Islands, 7. vii. 1828. 



Unfortunately, I have not examined other breeding Snipes from the Faeroe 

 Islands, and I am therefore unable to say whether the type of Brehm's 

 faeroeensis is an individual variety or a subspecies ; in the latter case the birds 

 breeding on Iceland might belong to the same form. The specimen is rather 

 ferrugineous on the upperside, the edges on the scapulars are narrow^ though 

 the bird is apparently quite adult and not young ; the black portions are more 

 or less speckled with rufous, the jugulum is rather rufescent. A similar specimen 

 from Ireland (not Iceland) is in the British Museum, another in the Tring 

 Museum, but both these latter might be migrants from the northern islands. 



322. Telmatias septentrionalis Brehm = Gallinago gallinago gcdlinago. 



Telmatias seTptentrionalis Brehm, Handb. Naturg. Vog. Deutschl. p. 619 (1831 — Descrihed from bh'ds 

 arriving in October and November and wintering in Germany). 



Type : ? Lindenkreuz, 14. i. 1826. C. L. Brehm coU. 

 This being the only specimen in the collection shot before 1831, I take it 

 to be the type.
