549. Saeciophokus bilobfs (J. 856). 

 Thayet-Myo. 



[Boddaert's specific title, malalaricus, has priority, as a glance at PL 

 Enl. 880 will show.] 



*550. HOPLOPTEEUS VEKTRALIS (J. 857). 



Common along the banks of rivers. Mr. Swinhoe met with it in Hainan 

 [Tonghoo, Karen nee (W. J2.).]

Arakan. 



[Tonghoo ( W. i?.).]

 [Thayet Myo, Tonghoo ( W. J2.)-] 



553. JEgialites placida. 

 JEgialiies placidus, G. E. Gray, Cat. Hodgs. Coll. 2nd ed. p. 70, 1863 ; A. hartingi, 

 Swinhoe ; JEudromias tenuirostris, A. 0. Hume, probably Charadrius longipes, apud David, 

 N. Arch, de Mus. 1867, p. 38. 



A specimen of this bird was believed by Dr. Jerdon to have been pro- 

 cured by him in Burma, but he was not sure whether he obtained it on the 

 coast or inland. 



*554. M. mo^golica (J. 847). 

 Common in the cold season. 



*555. M. dubia (J. 849). 

 Charadrius dubius, Scopoli, Del. PI. Faun. Insubr. ii. p. 92. 



Smaller than the European JE. curomcus, but otherwise similar, and of 

 common occurrence.*' 



[2E. philippensis, apud Jerd., No. 849, and which is the number in Mr. 

 Blyth's MS., is=C. curonicus, Gm. But perhaps the species actually in- 

 tended by Mr. Blyth is JE. minuta (Pallas), apud Jerdon, No. 850, and of 

 which Lieutenant W. Eamsay obtained specimens at Tonghoo. The title 0. 

 philippensis, Lath., was founded on the same plate as that of C. duhius, Scopoli. 

 Until the species which inhabits the island of Luzon has been studied, the 

 correct titles for the two species cannot be determined. The synonymy is 

 very simple, but the correct application of the various titles cannot be made 

 until the Philippine type has been compared.]
