This handsome hii'fl, which mi^-ht be styled the Australian 

 representative of the English Pewit, is an abundant species 

 in many parts of Tasmania, inhabiting for the most part tlie 

 interior of the island, where it is to be met with abundantly 

 in the midland, northern, western, and Derwent Valley 

 Districts. It is however found near the sea in suitable 

 localities and is numerous in the Straits Islands. On the 

 mainland it is found in Victoria, South Austraha, and New 

 South Wales, and ranges up the east coast of the continent 

 as far as Rockingham Bay. It is not recorded from West 

 Australia, evidently not having penetrated across the desert 

 country between there and South Australia, but notwithstand- 

 ing further exploration may lead to its discovery in the Western 

 colony.

This handsome Plover is an inhabitant of the northern 

 parts of Austi-alia, being found in the littoral districts of the 

 continent from Cape York to the Kimberley country. It 

 does not appear to extend down the east coast, as it is 

 doubtfully included by Dr. Ramsay in his "List" from 

 Rockingham Bay. Gould speaks of it as being common in 

 the Cobourg Peninsula, and records Breaker Inlet as a 

 locality where a correspondent, Mr. F. T. Gregory, found it 

 common.

The range of this fine Plover extends from Tasmania and
