237. CADICNEMUS SCoLOPAX (S. G. Gmelin). Stone-cwrlew. 
Summer visitor, and once very abundant both on the Yorkshire wolds 
and Lincolnshire commons, in which latter localities a few pairs still 
continue to nest. On Manton Common they formerly, for years together, 
used to arrive to a day, namely, April 11th. Leave in October. In 1895, 
on January 30th, one in Mr. Caton Haigh’s collection was shot at 
Marshchapel, and early in February, 1899, one near Filey. C. May, of 
Laughton Lodge, took the eggs of the last pair of stone curlew nesting 
on Scotton Common, near Hardwicke Hill, in 1886, and shot the birds.

Family CHARADRIIDA. 
240. EUDROMIAS MORINELLUS (Linn.). Dotterel. 
Formerly in very considerable numbers on the Wolds of Lincolnshire 
and Yorkshire late in April, and in the coast districts in May. At 
present, although it continues with tolerable regularity to visit old 
localities, the ‘‘trips’”’ are few and the number of birds small. Leaves 
from the middle to the end of May for their breeding haunts in the north. 
Occasionally again in August, but it is rare at this season on the return 
migration. 
241. ANGIALITIS HIATICOLA (Linn.). Ringed Plover. 
Resident, and breeding on or near the coast. A very large immigra- 
tion, chiefly young birds, at the end of July and August, which for some 
weeks frequent the lands in the coast districts; these leave again in 
October. A strong return migration in the spring in March and April ; 
about the middle of May there is a movement of a small race of ringed 
plover through the district from the south. 
242. ANGIALITIS CANTIANA (Lath.). Kentish Plover. 
One was shot at Flamborough about 1857 (M. Bailey) [‘ Hand. Yorks. 
Vert.,’ p. 71]. A male and female shot by Mr. Boynton, of Ulrome 
Grange, on May 25th and 28th, in 1869 {‘ Zool.,’ 1869, pp. 1843-4]. 
One, an immature bird, on October 8th, 1881, on the Lincolnshire coast 
[* Zool.,’ 1882, p. 74].
