Mr. Kent’s note is: ‘‘ The last likely to be obtained this season.” 
[ All the eggs entered in the last ten sections (§§ 3468-3477) were obtained 
by Mr. R. Kent, at that time of St. Leonard’s-on-Sea, to whom my brother 
and I recommended both Mr. Godman and Mr. Wolley. |

[§ 3480. Zwo.—kLydd Beach, 1878. 
These I obtained from Mr. George Blacklocks, of Lydd, on the occasion of 
my visiting the wonderful beach on the 15th May, 1879, in company with 
Mr. H. A. Dombrain ; but though we saw and for some hours watched several 
pairs of Kentish Plovers in their home, they had evidently not begun to lay eggs. 
We had with us a dog deservedly celebrated for finding nests, but not a single 
Kentish Plover’s did she discover, and we could only admire her scenting 
faculty, in weather which was most unfavourable for its exercise, applied to 
the commoner species of birds. From what I could learn of the people I met, 
some of whom knew the beach and its birds intimately, there were only two 
places, and those of limited extent, in the whole of its length on which the 
Kentish Plover ever bred, while on these two spots the pebbles, both in size 
and colour, were remarkably like eggs of this species. ]
