314 PLOVER. 



In the collection of Gen. Davies was one, from Cayenne, nearly 

 twelve inches in length. According to M. Azara, it appears in 

 Paraguay in summer, but not very common. 



Inhabits also Java, under the name of Trule. We have also 

 seen one, scarcely differing from the common, brought from New- 

 Holland. 



B. — LeMbatuitui a poitrine marbree, Voy. d s 'Azara, iv. No. 390. 



This by the name seems to differ in having the breast marbled, 

 and is no doubt a further Variety.
