Ronald Gunn, the collector, has the following note about the Tasmanian speci- 
mens :—‘‘I shot these birds on the beach at Georgetown. They run along the 
sand, almost within the waves, picking up mollusca, &c., deposited by the sea, 
uttering a sharp, squeaking cry. When disturbed or pressed too close, they 
make short flights over the sea to another part of the beach. Iris, brown; legs 
and feet, black.” :

Land during the Antarctic Expedition of H.M.SS. Erebus and Terror. The 
locality, if correct (and there seems no doubt on this point), is interesting, as, 
according to Dr. Sclater (Ibis, 1898, p. 430), no species of Limicolw, except the 
aberrant form Chionis, is known to occur on the Antarctic Continent.
