82 BIRDS OF OHIO. 
Moseley from Sandusky, there are specimens taken in Lo- 
rain county, and the record of Dr. Wheaton for the vicini- 
ty of Columbus exhaust the records. It is certainly a rare 
migrant across the state, probably in late April. 
113. (27%a.) AEGIALITIS MELODA CIRCUMCINCTA Ridgw. 
Belted Piping Plover. 
Dr. Wheaton said of this form, in his 1882 catalogue, 
“Mr. Ridgway describes as a geographical race of this spe- 
cies, var. circumcinctus, from the Missouri region. To this 
variety Mr. Nelson refers the birds taken in Illinois by him, 
and doubtless Ohio birds are the same. But specimens of 
circumcinctus have been taken in various localities on the 
Atlantic coast and doubtless, as held by Mr. Brewster, the 
variety is untenable.” 
There are specimens of both forms in Ohio collections, 
but circumcincta appears to be the more numerous. Just as 
we go to press, Mr. W. L. Dawson, Prof. J. S. Hine and the 
writer have found some half-dozen pairs of this form breed- 
ing on'the beach of Cedar Point, across from Sandusky, 
near the new Lake Laboratory of the Ohio State University. 
A set of four eggs was taken there, in an advanced state of 
incubation, June 26. This form should be found breeding 
in any suitable localities over the state. 
Family Apurizipz. Turnstone. 
The species which is found in Ohio always occurs in 
flocks while it is with us. I have never seen it except on the 
lake shore, where it was gleaning among the rubbish thrown 
up by the waves. It is a striking looking bird, easily identi- 
fied.
