 211.) 



[This Plover was found upon a stony rise some 800 ft. 

 approx. above sea-level. It was observed in one place only 

 and but four birds in all. Two were mated. This pair had 

 young in down, and when they were observed both parents 

 tried to decoy us away, the male keeping at a distance and 

 shewing great excitement. The female fluttered away in 

 front, quite near her young, only one of which we could dis- 

 cover. This young bird agreed admirably in colour with the 

 mosses, stones, and lichens with which it was surrounded. 

 When found it had its chin close upon the ground, keeping 

 so for at least ten minutes. Feeling that something was wrong 

 it then rose and ran quickly away, the mother bird following- 

 it at about the same pace. While my companion was watching 

 these actions I was one hundred yards away with the male 

 flying past me and always in an opposite direction to that in 

 which the young bird was. The position of the breeding- 

 ground was away from Avater and upon the highest stony 

 and treeless hills in the neighbourhood.]
