speoinieu is now in my eollectioii, .•iiid in the liL^ht of the ahove 

 statements, seems to lie the .third time only tliat a specimen lias 

 actually been taken in the stae of Ohio. The diagnostic marks of 

 this bird to distinguish it from the American Golden Plover as 

 given in tlie l>ook-. viz. tlie rudimentary fourth toe, heavier legs 

 and liill. will do all right wlien the bird is in your hand, but not in 

 the field. There the white ujijier tail-coverts serve to distinguish 

 it from the (iolden I'lover, whose upper tail-coverts are concolor 

 with the back. The German birdbooks point out this fact, the 

 Americans do not. and still at a distance it will prove the one diag- 

 nostic mark. W. F. IIenninger. 



Green Heron ix New .Tkrsey. — It may be of interest to some of 

 yotir New Jersey readers to know that the Green Heron {Biitoridcs 

 rir< nccns) is bet'oming (piite conunon in several localities in the 

 northern part of the state. I have personally located individuals in 

 Branch Brook Park, Newark, N. .T.. on August 20 and September 1>, 

 1909, and on September 10 and 11 of this year. At Pompton Lake 

 on Septend)er 13. 1009. two individuals were seen, and at Green- 

 wood Lake on September 14. 1909. three more were found. At Da- 

 vey's Pond, in the northern part of Bloomfield, one was observed 

 on August 29, 1910, and, in addition to the above records, several 

 were reported to have been shot at Echo Lake during October of 

 1909. Louis S. Kohler.
