  Mr. 
  W. 
  R. 
  Ogilvie 
  Grant 
  gave 
  an 
  account 
  of 
  a 
  successful 
  

   expedition 
  which 
  he 
  had 
  made 
  to 
  BanfOshire 
  with 
  Capt. 
  Savile 
  

   Reid, 
  to 
  obtain 
  the 
  nests 
  of 
  the 
  Snow-Bunting 
  [Plectro- 
  

   phenax 
  nivalis) 
  and 
  the 
  Dotterel 
  {Eudromias 
  morinellus). 
  

   The 
  probable 
  locality 
  of 
  the 
  breeding-places 
  of 
  these 
  two 
  

   species 
  had 
  been 
  indicated 
  to 
  him 
  by 
  Mr. 
  F. 
  D. 
  Godman, 
  

   F.R.S., 
  with 
  such 
  foresight 
  that 
  Mr. 
  Ogilvie 
  Grant 
  had 
  

   obtained 
  the 
  nests 
  of 
  both 
  species 
  on 
  the 
  first 
  day 
  of 
  his 
  

   expedition. 
  The 
  nests 
  of 
  these 
  two 
  rare 
  species 
  of 
  British 
  

   birds 
  would 
  be 
  shortly 
  exhibited 
  in 
  the 
  series 
  of 
  naturally 
  

   mounted 
  groups 
  at 
  the 
  British 
  Museum. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Sclater 
  exhibited 
  a 
  skin 
  of 
  the 
  Grey 
  Phalarope 
  

   {Phalmwjms 
  fulicarius), 
  apparently 
  of 
  a 
  bird 
  assuming 
  

   summer 
  plumage, 
  from 
  Chili, 
  transmitted 
  to 
  him 
  by 
  Dr. 
  R, 
  

   A. 
  Philippi, 
  of 
  Santiago, 
  C.M.Z.S., 
  and 
  remarked 
  that 
  the 
  

   occasional 
  visits 
  of 
  this 
  Phalarope 
  to 
  Chili 
  had 
  been 
  already 
  

   noted 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Salvin 
  (P. 
  Z. 
  S. 
  1883, 
  p. 
  429). 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Saunders 
  (^Manual,' 
  p. 
  551) 
  had 
  stated 
  that 
  the 
  Red- 
  

   necked 
  Phalarope 
  (P. 
  hyperboreus) 
  also 
  occurred 
  in 
  Chili, 
  

   but 
  Mr. 
  Sclater 
  had 
  not 
  been 
  able 
  to 
  find 
  any 
  authority 
  for 
  

   this, 
  though 
  Wilson^s 
  Phalarope 
  of 
  N. 
  America 
  (P. 
  wilsoni) 
  

   was 
  an 
  occasional 
  visitor 
  to 
  Chili 
  and 
  Patagonia 
  (see 
  Seebohra,
