1921.] Birds of Alcudia, Majorca . 709 
A specimen o£ Sabine 5 s Snipe was shot in the Albufera 
on 27 February, 1920, but was so mangled by the dog that 
retrieved it that it was not possible to preserve it. 
177. Galliriago media. Great Snipe. 
Included in v. Jordans 5 list on the authority of Barcelo. 
178. Limnocryptes gallinula. Jack Snipe. 
A few occur in the winter in the same localities as the 
Common Snipe, but they are not abundant. I trod on one 
once in the Alcudia marshes ; it left some of its feathers 
beneath my foot. 
Included in v. Jordans’ list. 
179. Calidris canutus. Knot. 
Some small parties of this species frequented the marshes 
near Puerto Alcudia in October and November, 1920. 
180. Erolia minuta. Little Stint. 
On 20 May, 1921, I shot an example in the marshes near 
the Port; two others were near it and were absurdly tame. 
They were still about on 26 May, and associated sometimes 
with the Kentish Plovers. 
Obtained by v. Jordans. 
181. Erolia alpina. Dunlin. 
Observed by v. Jordans. 
182. Erolia ferruginea. Curlew-Sandpiper. 
Included in v. Jordans- list. 
183. Crocethia alba. Sanderling. 
Witherby observed this species in July 1919 at Alcudia. 
184. Philomachus pugnax. Ruff. 
A flock of four or five individuals frequented the shores 
of Alcudia Bay all the winter of 1919-20 until the 
beginning of April 1920. They were always wild and 
unapproachable. 
Yon Jordans quotes Homeyer and Barcelo.
