CATALOGUE. 59 
Mr. Dresser states (“Birds of Europe,” Part IX) that he has 
a specimen of Charadrius fulvus in his collection “which 
was taken at sea in lat. 69° 30’, N. long. 173° 20’ E., many 
miles northwest of Point Barrow,” and “much nearer to the 
American than to the Asiatic coast.” He also states that 
“Mr. Pickering, when at sea on the 13th of November, be- 
tween the Sandwich Islands and California, procured speci- 
mens which were evidently migrating.” | 
The following list gives the comparative measurements of 
Golden Plovers taken in different parts of the world. Those 
which are not my own are taken from Mr. H. E. Dresser's
