PLOVER. 25-^3 



Inhabits India, and not uncommon ; met with in flocks, and fre- Place. 



quent in company with the 'Teetaree, or Chinefe Redjhank. 



I apprehend the above to be no other than the J^ong-legged 

 Plover in its juvenile ftate ; the more fo, as that bird is not 

 unfrequent in India. Mrs. Wheeler informs me, that it is there 

 known by the name of Crakoli,

'T'HESE are met with on the coafts o^ Kent, we believe, at all LING, 



feafons. I have received them from my intelligent friend 

 Mr. Boys, oi Sandwich, both in January and in Auguft. This 

 bird, like the Purre, and fome others, varies confiderably, either 

 from age, or with the feafon ; for thofe received in Auguft, had the 

 upper parts dark afh- coloured j and the feathers deeply edged with 

 ferruginous j but others, fent to me in January, were of a plain 

 dove-coloured grey : they differed alfo in fome other trifling par- 

 ticulars. I am informed, that they are feen in autumn in fmall 

 flights, and not unfrequently along v/ith the Purres, and both of 

 them indifcriminately called Ox Birds. 



"T^R. Heyjham informs me, that he once received fome Dotterel'^ ^. 



eggs from Kefwick, in Cumberland; alfo, that z female Dot- -^ DOTTEREL, 

 terel was killed upon the very top of the mountain Skiddow, in the 

 breeding feafon.
