PLOVERS. 43 
noted this species as permanently resident in Ireland, 
and mentions many localities where it breeds 
regularly. 
GREY PLOVER. WSquatarola helvetica (Linneus). 
A spring and autumn migrant, a few remaining 
the winter. A single instance has come under my 
observation of a Grey Plover remaining in England 
throughout the summer. ‘This was in 1867, in the 
neighbourhood of Pagham Harbour, Sussex. The 
bird was seen constantly from the end of May, by 
which time all the migrating flocks had left, until 
the 29th of August following, on which day I 
shot it. It exhibited no trace of any former wound, 
and was in excellent condition. 
LAPWING. Vanellus cristatus, Meyer. 
Resident, and generally distributed; assembling in 
large flocks at the approach of winter, when it is to a 
certain extent migratory. 
DOTTEREL. Kudromias morinellus (Linnzeus). 
A spring and autumn migrant. Believed to breed 
annually on the high ranges of Westmoreland and 
Cumberland, and in the counties of Forfar, Kincar- 
dine, Aberdeen, Banff, Moray, Sutherland, and Caith- 
ness*, Although rare in Ireland, there is some 
reason to suppose that this bird may breed annually,
