[A SPECIMEN of this extremely rare bird was 
shot near S¢. Albans, in East Kent, the seat 
of William Hammond, Esq. and first described 
and figured by Dr. Latham, in his supplement 
to the General Synopsis. It differed in a very 
slight degree from the Cream colored Plover of 
that work, which he thus describes : 
‘‘ Length ten inches. Bill three quarters of 
an inch, slender, bent at the top, not unlike 
that of the Pratincole; plumage in general 
cream color, palest beneath ; behind the eyes is 
a patch of black; through them a pale streak
