42 RESIDENTS AND MIGRANTS. 
LITTLE BUSTARD. Otis tetrax, Linneus. 
An occasional winter visitant. More than forty 
instances of its occurrence in England are known

it is only known with certainty to have occurred once. 
This was in the bog of Killough, co. Wicklow, in

Wight (A.G. More). These localities, therefore, may 
be said to define the limits of its range northward in 
winter. In the north of England and in Scotland it 
is unknown, except as a rare straggler; and the same 
remark applies to Ireland. 
GOLDEN PLOVER. Charadrius pluvialis, Linneus. 
Breeds in Scotland and the north of England, and 
sparingly in Devon and Somerset. To the eastern 
and southern counties of England it is a winter 
visitant, sometimes remaining very late and occurring 
very early. Professor A. Newton writes me word

Thetford Warren during every month in the year, but 
that it does not breed there. Mr. Thompson has
