Mr. Dresser states ("Birds of Europe," Part IX) that he has 

 a specimen of Charadrius fiilvus in his collection " which 

 was taken at sea in lat. 69 30', N. long. 173 20' E., many 

 miles northwest of Point Barrow," and " much nearer to the 

 American than to the Asiatic coast." He also states that 

 "Mr. Pickering, when at sea on the i3th of November, be- 

 tween the Sandwich Islands and California, procured speci- 

 mens which were evidently migrating." 



The following list gives the comparative measurements of 

 Golden Plovers taken in different parts of the world. Those 

 which are not my own are taken from Mr. H. E. Dresser's
