1888 (Hoxie); Fort Macon, N. C., April 15, 1869: (Coues):. The 
species has wandered aorth on. the coast: several times to Long 
Island (Dutcher), once to Connecticut (Purdie), twice to Massachu- 
setts (Townsend), and even to Nova Scotia (Goss). The only record 
for the Pacific coast of the United States-is that of the single bird: 
taken June 29, 1894, at Pacific Beach, California (Ingersoll). 
Eges have basa taken at Sarasota Bay, Florida, April 8 (Moore); 
coast ‘of Georgia, April 29 (Bailey); Corpus Christi, Tex., April 25 
(Chapman); Cobbs Island, Virginia, May 7 (Oates). 
[Rufous-naped Plover. Ochthodromus wilsonius rufinuchus (Ridgw.). 
The principal home of the subspecies rufous-naped plover is the Greater Antilles, 
whence it spreads: to the neighboring coasts of British Honduras and Guatemala; 
probably also to, Yucatan, It breeds also in northern South America on the coast 
of Colombia, Venezuela, ‘and Guiana. While some individuals remain all the year 
on the breeding grounds, others migrate a short distance to several of the islands of 
the Lesser Antilles and to’Brazil as far south as Bahia. It is' probably this form that 
occurs on:the coast of Ecuador and Peru, but.from lack of specimens this point is not 
settled.] ‘ 
Mountain Plover. Podasocys montanus (Towns.). 
Breeding range:—The mountain plover seems to be confined in 
summer to the United States, but closely approaches the boundaries, 
both north and south. In 1874 it was found breeding and not uncom- 
mon on the Frenchman River in Montana (Coues), not, far from the 
Canadian boundary, and on Milk River, Montana (Coues), right at 
the line, but so far has not been recorded anywhere in Canada. It 
breeds south to northern New Mexico (Henshaw) ; east to north- 
western Texas (Bailey), ‘western’ Kansas (Fisher), , and ‘western 
Nebraska (Bruner) » west to Sun River, Montana (Dutcher) ? Fort 
Bridger, Wyo. (Drexler), Del Norte, Colo. (Hill and Orth), and San 
Miguel County, New Mexico (Mitchell). . 
Winter range. —This © species winters ‘from’ sonthonn California 
(Cooper), southern Arizona (Osgood), and San Antonio, Tex. (Beck- 
ham), south to Zacatecas, Mexico (Sharpe), and the. Paz,. Lower 
California (Sharpe). It is one of the few species that winters far- 
ther west than it breeds. 
Migration range. —The more eastern individuals @f this species 
probably follow the usual north and, south migration route, keeping 
to the plains east. of the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, but some 
of the more western individuals take a very peculiar course in migra- 
tion. The species is a tolerably common migrant at. Marysville in 
northern California (Belding), arriving in November. Whence come 
these November birds? The nearest point of the breeding range is 
northwestern Montana in the vicinity of Great Falls (Williams)... To 
reach Marysville from Great Falls the plover must pass through
