696 Mr. T. Carter on some [Ibis, 



Eupodella vereda. 



A small flock ot' Oriental Dotterels was seen on 2 September, 

 1911, on the large salt marsh at Maud's Landing. I was 

 unable to obtain any specimens, as they were very wild. 

 They had evidently just arrived, for I had crossed the marsh 

 daily from 23 August without seeing any. When returning 

 to Carnarvon by mail coach on the same trip on 13 Sep- 

 tember, I saw some of these Dotterels on a scrubby flat about 

 thirty miles inland. The driver kindly waited while I tried 

 to shoot a specimen, but I could not get within gunshot. 

 Wlien at Point Cloates on 8 September, 1913, the first party 

 of these birds was seen on a salt marsh there. 



Leucopolius ruficapillus tormenti. 



A few Red-capped Dotterel were seen on 2 August, 1916, 

 at a mangrove swamp south of the North- West Cape, and on 

 21 August I came upon four young birds, only just hatcdied 

 and attended by the mother, on the salt marsh at Maud's 

 Landing. Later in the day half-grown young birds were 

 seen at the same marsh, which contained a few shallow pools 

 of salt water. On 2 March, 1916, I saw many on the beach 

 at Cape Mentelle. 



Charadrius cucullatus tregellasi. 



Western Hooded Dotterels W'ere plentiful along the beach 

 near (Jape Mentelle in March 1916, and some were seen at 

 Cape Leeuwin early in April 1919. When I shot one and 

 only winged it, the remainder of the birds showe'd great 

 concern I'or their wounded companion, and would not leave 

 it until I walked among them to pick it up. 



Elseya melanops melanops. 



A few Black fronted Dotterels were seen at Broadwater, 

 near Busselton, on 15 February, 1916, and at a stock tank on 

 my Broome Hill pro[)erty on 8 January, 1916. 



Himantopiis leucocephalus assimilis. 



A few Northern AV^iite-headed Stilts were seen at a pool 

 near the Minilya River on 8 September, 1911.
