Mr. Ussher procured two examples of this little Hemipode

 I cannot see any difference at all.

" Striped-throated Lapwing. Plains of Accra, June 9th 1871: 

 probably migratory ; appear about June, and leave in September 

 or October; iris yellow, pupil black, with a narrow violet circle; 

 wattles round the eye dull red, those below bright lemon-

 (Lath ) ; Gray, Hand-1. of B. iii. p. 15. 



One specimen from Accra, shot by Mr. Ussher himself. The 

 example, unfortunately, is not quite adult, but appears to me to 

 belong to the smaller and apparently distinct form of Ringed 

 Plover.
