STREPSILAS INTERPEES, TTJENSTONE. 469 



saw newly-hatobed young, and others full grown, the 27th and 28th of 

 July, in South Park, Oolorado, showing that the time of laying varies. 

 Yet the range thus indicated is nothing unusual ; I have observed much 

 the same thing with regard to the Bartramian Sandpiper ahd other 

 species which I have had an opportunity of observing closely. 



Mr. Allen communicates the following notes : " The Mountain Plover 

 {^(llalitis Montana), though scarcely to be regarded as an abundant 

 species, occurs with considerable frequency throughout the plains from 

 Middle and perhaps Eastern Kansas westward. In the breeding sea- 

 son it is generally seen in isolated pairs, usually in the dryest situatious, 

 and is silent and unsuspicious. Later in the season it occurs occasion- 

 ally in small parties, composed of one or two broods of young, accom- 

 panied by their parents. Newly-hatched young were observed at 

 Intervals throughout the month of July. This species was also often 

 met with in South Park, as well as on the high tablelands that occur 

 at intervals thence eastward to the plains." 



The Turnstone has not, to my knowledge, been found in the Missouri region, but is 

 reported from Lake Erie and Minnesota. Following is its synonymy : 

 Strbpsilas intbrpkes, {Linnmiis,) lUiger.
