CATALOGUE. 59 



Mr. Dresser states ("'Birds of Europe," Part IX) that he has 

 a specimen of Charadrius fulvus in his collection " which 

 was taken at sea in lat. 69° 30', N. long. 173° 20' E., many 

 miles northwest of Point Barrow," and " much nearer to the 

 American than to the Asiatic coast." He also states that 

 " Mr. Pickering, when at sea on the I3ih of November, be- 

 tween the Sandwich Islands and California, procured speci- 

 mens which were evidently migrating." 



The following list gives the comparative measurements of 

 Golden Plovers taken in different parts, of the world. Those 

 w^hich are not my own are taken from Mr. H. E. Dresser's 

 "Birds of Europe": —
