Limonites ruficollis (Pall.) ; Sharpe, tom. cit. p. 545. 
A female in winter plumage obtained at Kuala Kedah in 
November 1907 appears to belong to this species, which 
occurs in numbers along the Peninsula coast during the 
winter, though some individuals may prove to be referable 
to L. minuta .

The Curlew-Sandpiper is widely, though somewhat 
sparingly, distributed throughout the Peninsula, but indi¬ 
viduals appear to arrive early and remain late, and specimens 
in almost complete breeding-plumage are not infrequently 
met with. 
Our collection contains a male from Kuala Kedah, shot in 
November 1907.

Gallinago stenura (Kuhl) ; Sharpe, tom. cit. p. 619. 
The Pintail Snipe was exceptionally abundant in the rice- 
fields both in Langkawi and in Trang ; in the latter locality 
Gallinago megala , which has recently been obtained in 
Selangor, probably occurs also, though we did not obtain 
specimens.

Common along the coasts, both among the mangroves and 
on the shores of rocky islands. We found it very abundant 
in the Rhio Archipelago, and discovered that the breast, well 
hung and well rubbed with pepper and salt, was by no means 
a bad substitute for beef-steak. 
A fine male, now mounted in the Selangor Museum, was 
secured on Terutau in November 1907.
