The Sand-Plover occurs sparingly throughc^nt the IVIalay 



Peninsula, and probably Siani, though not nearly as common as the 



following.

2 $. Koh Lak, S. W. Siam. 7 April, 1919. 



"Iris black; bill black; feet pale greenish grey with a tinge 

 of blue." 



Total lengh 182, 182; wing 128, 120; tail 48, 45; tarsus 33.5, 

 32.5 ; bill from gape 22, 20.5 mm. 



Two races of this Sand-Plover — a western one, Ae. iiyrrho- 

 tliorax, and the present one — are supposed to occur in our area : the 

 majority of specimens should perhaps be referred to the former, 

 which is stated to have a slightly longer tarsus. It is, however, 

 practically impossible to discriminate with any certainty individual 

 birds in winter plumage, and wo have therefore retained all the local 

 birds under the older name.
