12G Mr. W. R. Ogilvie Grant on the 



male is dark slaty grey, but this, of course, really refers to 

 the underparts only.

Geoffroy^s Sand-Plover from Engano and Manila Bay in 

 full breeding-plumage was obtained at the end of April and 

 in the first week of May. The male has the bands from 

 the lores to the ear-coverts, as well as the band between the 

 eyes and its offshoot to the base of the culmen, deep black ; 

 but these markings are dark greyish in the female, and the 

 latter, at least, not very clearly defined. In both the crown 

 of the head, nape, and pectoral band are pale rufous chestnut, 

 but brightest in the male.

Five adults in full breeding-plumage obtained at Manila 

 Bay. If the sexes marked on the labels were correctly ascer- 

 tained, the male and female are perfectly similar in plumage, 

 but I have reason to believe that one of the specimens marked 

 ? is really a. S . I may here mention that the birds from 

 Manila Bay were evidently not obtained by Mr. Whitehead 

 himself, for he was at Cape Engano at the time when they 

 were collected.
