Mr. Jenyns on the Ornithology of Cambridgeshire. 
ORDER XII. GriLtatones. 
Genus XXXIV. OEDICNEMUS, Temm. 
O. crepitans, Temm. Man. d’Ornith. p. 521. 
StonE-CuRLEwW.—This species does not appear to be plentiful in 
these districts. I have ‘seen specimens that ‘were killed in the 
vicinity of Cambridge, and am informed by Dr. Thackeray, that 
about two years since he had brought him a young bird which 
was bred very near that place, but I never observed any myself. It 
is migratory, and only met with during the summer months. 
Genus XXXV. CHARADRIUS, Linn. 
C. pluvialis, Temm. Man. d@Ornith. p. 535. 
GOLDEN PLover.—Common in the fens as well as the high 
lands, but appear to breed generally in the last mentioned 
situations. 
C. Morinellus, Temm. Man. d@’Ornith. p. 537. 
Dorteret.—This baits with us for a short time in its passage 
to and from the North where it probably breeds, being seen here 
in the spring and autumn only. The largest flocks occur about 
the middle of September. They frequent the same situations as 
the preceding species. 
C. Hiaticula, Temm. Man. @Ornith. p. 539. 
Rincep PLover.—Great quantities of these birds appeared in 
Bottisham and Swaffham fens in the months of June and July 
1824, which was a remarkably wet season. They are by no means 
regular visitants of those districts. 
Montagu asserts in the Supplement to his Ornithological 
Dictionary that this species resides on the sea shore the whole 
year, but from the above circumstance it is probable that they 
occasionally retire inland to breed.
