In this family, Van. cristatus and Hem. Ostralegus are com- 
mon and resident. Char. pluvialis and C. Hiaticula are com- 
mon and partially resident; the numbers of both species (certain- 
ly of the former) being much increased by an autumnal migra- 
tion from higher latitudes. Squat. cinerea, Strep. Interpres, 
and Aren. Calidris, are regular periodical visitants. dic. 
crepitans and Char. Morinellus very rarely visit Ireland. 
Of the Cursorius Isabellinus, four individuals have been 
obtained in England and Wales. Char. minor has a place in 
the British catalogue from a single specimen killed in Sussex. 
To the east and south-east of England only, I believe, is 
Char. Cantianus known.
