but in very limited numbers, on the higb mountains 

 in the county of Tipperary*. An interesting account

KINGED PLOVEE. Mgialitis hiaticula (Linnseus). 



Although this species may be found upon some 

 part of the coast throughout the year, it is nevertheless 

 migratory in spring and autumn. 



KENTISH PLOVEB. Mgialitis cantiana (Latham). 



A spring and autumn migrant, breeding annually 

 on the coasts of Kent and Sussex. It has been met 

 with in Cornwall (Rodd), Hants (Gurney), Suffolk 

 (Hele), Norfolk (Stevenson), and Yorkshire (Boyes) ; 

 but is of rare occurrence, except in the south of 

 England. According to Mr. Blake Knox (Zoologist, 

 1866, p. 301), it has been observed in a few instances, 

 during the migration, on the Dublin coast, but it is 

 at all times a rare visitant to Ireland. 



TUENSTONE. Strepsilas interpres, Linnaeus. 



A spring and autumn migrant, a few remaining 

 throughout the winter. It is believed to nest in a few 

 localities in Great Britain. Dr. Embleton of Beadnall, 

 Northumberland, who used to visit the Fame Islands 

 annually in the nesting-season, wrote to me in 1865
