This Plover visits both groups in large flocks during the months 

 from September to December. It feeds along the beaches and 

 over the cultivated and grassed paddocks, generally accompanied 

 by a few Whimbrels.

This Dottrel is rarely seen at either group, and is not dis- 

 tinguished by any local name. I saw a pair feeding on the 

 northern end of the coral reef at Lord Howe Island in October, 

 1907, and another pair flying restlessly about Back Beach on the 

 € istern side of the island during the same month.
