7P0 Notes on the Ornithology of Candahar. [Aug. 



is one of the most faulty of the series. It seems, however, to be a 

 common bird throughout Asia.] 



82. Tringa [minuta, Leisler]. Shot at Candahar. [Obtained also 

 by Burnes at Cabul.] 



83. T. [Temminckii, Leisler. Also obtained by Burnes at Cabul.] 



84. [Limosa cegocephala, (L.)] Common all the year.* 



85. [Tot anus calidris, (L.) Cabul.] 



86. T* [stagnatilis, Bechstein : T. Lathami, Gray j Limosa Hors- 

 fieldii, Sykes.] Common all the year. 



87. T. [glareola, (Lin.)] Common all the year. 



88. [Numenius arquata, (L.) Cabul.] 



89. Scolopax rusticola, Lin. The Woodcock is very common at 

 Quetta and Candahar, arriving in November and departing in May : 

 they probably only retire during the summer to the more northern 

 districts, in order to avoid the hot wind and great heats of the southern 

 tracts at that season. A female measured, over all, 16in. ; and weigh- 

 ed 13oz. [I have obtained two fine specimens of the Woodcock in the 

 immediate vicinity of Calcutta, and have beard of one or two others hav- 

 ing been shot, though at long intervals.] 



90. \_Gallinago scolopacinus, Bonap. :] Scolopax gallinago, Lin. 

 Common Snipe. Abundant from Quetta to Girishk; at Candahar they 

 gradually disappeared (or became scarce) to the beginning of April. 



91. [G.~\ gallinula, (L.) Jack Snipe. As common as the last. 



92. Rhynchea bengalensis, (Gm.) Also occurs at Candahar. 



93. [Falcinellus igneus, (Gm.); Tantalus falcinellus, Lin. "Boo- 

 zuk" of Cabul (Burnes).] 



94. [Ciconia nigra, Belon. Procured by Burnes at Cabul.] 



95. [Platalea leucorodia, Lin. Also procured at Cabul by 

 Sir A. Burnes.] 



96. [Ardea cinerea, Lin. Ditto ditto.] 



97. [Herodias alba, (L.)] Found all the year on the banks of 

 the rivers. 



98. [//. garzetta, (Lin.) Procured by Sir A. Burnes at Cabul, 

 and with the last called Ookar.'] 



* N. B. This and Totunus stagnatilis were sent with the same number, and remark 

 attaehed to that number.— E. B.
