The Golden Plover wintering on the Hawaiian Islands is the Asiatic 

 and Polynesian Ch. fulvus as distinguished from the more easterly 

 American Ch. dominicanus proper. The shorter wings and golden yel- 

 low of the upper surface easily distinguish the former from the latter 

 form, and the specimens sent by Mr. Knudsen as well as those in the 

 Museum agree in these respects with Asiatic and Alaskan specimens.
