 mon in the cold weather by nearly every piece of water. 



T. glareola, Gmel. (Wood Sandpiper). — Very common from 

 August to March. 



T. ochropus, Linn. (Green Sandpiper). — More abundant than 

 T. glareola. 



T. stagnatilis, Bechst. (Little Greenshank). — Very rare. I 

 only got one specimen. 



T. glo ttis, Linn. (Greenshank). — Abundant during the cold 

 weather. 



T. fuscus, Linn. (Spotted Redshank). — A common cold 

 weather migrant, arriving in October. 



Pavoncella pugnax, Linn. (Ruff and Reeve). — Rare. I have 

 a pair in my collection, given me by Mr. Inglis. 



Tringa temmincki, Leisl. (White-tailed Stint). — Very com- 

 mon in the cold weather, in large flocks. 



T. minuta, Leisl. (Little Stint). — Not quite as common as 

 the last.

 February, 1898. It was the only one secured out of a small flock. 



Gallinago ccelestis, Frenz. (Common Snipe). — Very common 

 from September to April. 



G. sternura (Pin-tail Snipe). — Several shot near Darbhanga

 species in January and February, 1900. 



Rostratula capensis, Linn. (Painted Snipe). — I only got one 

 specimen in four years. 



Larus ichthyaetus (Great Black-headed Gull). — I saw this 

 bird twice, but was unable to shoot it. 



L. brunneicephalus (Brown-headed Gull). — Mr. Inglis obtained 

 one specimen of this bird in the distict.
