LARGER PIN-TAILED SNIPE. 
“ At Lake Hanka G. megala appears later than G. heterocerca, namely in 
the end of April ; but the principal migration takes place about the middle 
of May. It stops to breed there only in very Umited numbers, but becomes 
again numerous in August during migration. In Spring it keeps to the burnt 
marshes, and in autumn to the damp steppes.”* 
The bird figured and described is a male (the type of GalUnago australis 
oweni), collected on the North-west of Australia on January 19th, 1909, by 
Mr. J. P. Rogers.
