Our common species, found the greater part of the year on tho 

 sea-shore.

 Chinensis, Gray. 



137. Tringa cinclus, L. 



Upper tail-coverts blac/c, and not white as in T. subarqiiata ; bilí 



long and curved. 

 Frequents our shores in lar ge flocks during winter. 



138. Tringa minuta, Leisler. 

 Autumnal flocks drop here.

 the cold season.

141. Gallinago uniclava, Hodgson. 



Our commonest species in paddy-fields ; retires in summer to 

 breed. 



142. Gallinago stenura, (Temminck.) 



Also common, but more solitary than the abo ve. 



143. Gallinago solitaria (?), Hodgson. 



Found in ravines among the hills ; very solitary. It is a large 

 species and has the tail slightly rounded and consisting of 

 20 nearly equally long feathers ; the 8 middle ones broad and 

 the 6 lateral ones narrow, beginning with the Ist which is 

 little more than y 1 ^- wide and gradually increasing towards the 

 outermost of the 8 central, which is narrower than the rest. 



It difíers a good deal from the species described as solitaria in 

 the Fauna Japónica. 



144. Gallinago major, (L.) 



This species I have met only during the month of September 

 in fields overflowed with salt water. It is rather solitary and 

 rises with a cry. It resembles G. major more nearly than 

 any I am acquainted with, but has eigliteen tail-feathers in- 

 stead of sixteen, and the outer toe is disproportionally long.
