{Santo Domingo Killdeer. ‘Oxyechus vociferus torquatus (Linn.). ; 
The Santo Domingo killdeer is the resident form of the West Indies, breeding in 
Cuba, the Isle of Pines, Jamaica, and Haiti, and probably also in Porto Rico.] 
Semipalmated Plover. yialitis semipalmata (Bonap.). 
Breeding range—-The present known summer home of the semi- 
palmated plover extends north to Cumberland Sound (Kumlien), 
Melville Peninsula (Parry), Wellington Channel (Greely), and Melville 
Island (Parry). The occurrence of the species at these two latter 
places, latitude about 75° N., makes it probable that it occurs equally 
far north on the western side of Baffin Bay. It is common on the 
arctic coast of America as far west as the mouth of the Mackenzie. 
(MacFarlane). Thence westward it seems to be rare on the northern 
coast of Alaska (Nelson), but is tolerably common in Kotzebue
