PLUVIALIS APRICARIUS.—P. DOMINICUS. 105 
3398. Five-—Unst, 1856. From Mr. James Smith. | 
[ § 3399. Zhree-—Kyrkjuvogr, South-western Iceland, 31 May, 
1858. 
Brought to us by the village children, who said they had been given to 
them by the man who found them on the He7di (heath) close by, and called 
them Léa, which they seem to be. They were quite fresh. On our first 
arrival at Kyrkjuvogr, we found a trip of a dozen or more Golden Plovers 
tamely feeding on the grass among the houses. The Land-Physicus who 
accompanied us fired several shots at them, both on the ground and as they 
flew, until at last an unlucky bird was seen to drop. | 
[§ 3400. Four.—Gartan, Donegal, 16 May, 1863. From Mr. 
Robert Harvey. 
Mr. Harvey wrote that these were taken for him by his son on the 
mountains of Derryveagh, near Gartan, close to a Grouse’s nest (§ 2951). | 
3401. Zwo.—Norwegian Mountains, June, 1864. 
Found by Turi Aslagsen during a somewhat unsuccessful journey in search 
of Skuas’ eggs. ] 
[§ 3402. Four. 
These I have had for many years, but I have no note of whence they came, 
and I dare not now guess at their history. But I doubt not that they are Golden 
Plover’s, though very abnormal in appearance. | 
PLUVIALIS DOMINICUS (P. L. S. Miiller). 
[§ 3403. Zwo.—Arctic Coast, east of Anderson River, 19 
June, 1863. From the Smithsonian Institution, through 
Prof. Baird, 1866. 
The label shews that these were from a nest of four, near which one of the 
parent birds (No. 35995) was shot by Mr. R. MacFarlane, who remarks 
(Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus. xiv. p. 429) that this species “is very numerous in the 
Barren Grounds, from the outskirts of the forest to the shores of the Polar 
Sea...- I find one hundred and seventy nests recorded among my notes.’’]
