[Rangoon, Tonghoo (W. R.). "While T. damacensis, Horsf., remains 

 unidentified, it will be best to adopt Middendorff' s title of subminuta for this 

 species. Mr. Swinhoe identifies T. salina, Pallas, with T. albescens, Tern., a 

 species which has a red neck and throat in spring. For it, T. ruficollis is the 

 oldest title.] 



<*576. T. temminckii (J. 885).

577. Eueykoehynchus pygiomis (J. 887).

Estuaries of rivers, on extensive mud-banks left by the tide. 



*578. Philomachus ptignax (J. 880). 



Arakan. 



[Moerhing's generic title cannot be used, and as Leach gave no generic 

 characters, and was not substituting a title, Pavomella must fall, and 

 Machetes, Cuv., be adopted.] 



579. Galliistago scolopacina (J. 871). 

 Common in Upper Burma. 

 [Tonghoo (W. R.) ; Pabyouk (D.).]

[_Scolopax stenura, Kuhl, MS. ; S. sthenura, Bp., An. St. Nat. 1829 ; S. 

 horsfieldii, J. E. Gray, Zool. Misc. 1831, p. 2. Mr. G. E. Gray (H. L. No. 

 10344) most unaccountably gives Dr. Gray's title the precedence.]
