62. A®gialitis wilsoni (Ord). WuLson’s PLOVER. 
Accidental from the south. Although early writers include this 
species as “abundant at Nahant in August, 1838” on the 
authority of Dr. Brewer, the latter refuted the statement. The 
only tenable record is: Gernet /7., [not in Conn. as originally pub-

Fiske.
