BIBDS SEEN DURING DARDANELLES CAMPAIGN. 133 



A single bird on the cliff-top on November 30th, in the cold 

 weather. 



[On June 5th and 7th a large game-bird flew over the 

 trenches ; I cannot make any suggestion as to its identity.] 



Ceane (Grus sp. ?). 



Two on May 17th, with a flock of Storks, but they were too 

 far away for it to be possible to determine the species. 



Stone Curlew ((Edxcnemus scolopax). 



I heard them each evening during May, and saw them on a 

 weedy, stony upland near "X Beach," where they probably were 

 accustomed to breed. On June 21st I saw one in the fields near 

 the "Pink Farm." 



Grey Plover (Squatarola helvetica). 



Two on the mud by Mudros Harbour, Lemnos,on January 3rd. 



Kentish Plover (JEgialitis cantiana). 



I saw a flock on the mud-flat, Lemnos, from January 3rd 

 to 12th ; twenty was the greatest number seen. 



[Little Einged Plover (Mgialitis curonica). 



I believe that three I saw on July 10th, on the sand beside 

 a lagoon on Imbros, were of this species ; one was a young 

 bird.] 



Common Snipe (Gallinago ccelestis). 



One on Lemnos on January 9th. I heard of others, and also 

 of Woodcock, on the Peninsula, but saw none there myself. 



Dunlin (Tringa alpina). 



Three on the mud-flat, Lemnos, on January 3rd, and two or 

 three there till January 12th. 



Little Stint (Tringa minuta). 



Two Stints on the Lemnos mud-flat on January 6th were 

 probably of this species, which I had seen fairly commonly in 

 Egypt. 



Eedshank (Totanus calidris). 



One on the Lemnos mud-flat on January 6th. 



Common Sandpiper (Totanus hypoleucns) . 



One on August 26th, on the edge of the sea at Gully 

 Beach. 



Tern (Sterna sp. ?). 



Either Common or Arctic Terns were seen several times 

 during the cold weather, always passing up the coast in a
