100. PiiNGED Plover {yEgialitis hiaticula). 
This species is present with us at all seasons, breeding in 
several suitable localities along the coast, and receiving additions 
in autumn, when those which have nested here probably move 
south. The Kinged Plover still breeds in reduced numbers on 
Thetford Warren, also on some of the “llrecks” on the Norfolk 
side the border, arriving in February and departing late in August. 
Individuals of the small race with the darker mantle have occurred 
at Yarmouth. — S. 
101. Kentish 1’lover {/Egialitis cantiana). 
A summer visitant to our line of shore, doubtless occasionally 
mistaken for the Kinged Plover in its immature plumage. In the 
autumn of 1881, !Mr. Stevenson recorded as many sis six (Trans. 
Norfolk and Norwich Nat. Soc. vol. iii. pp. 551-553), and a good 
many others on dillerent occasions have been noted, generally at 
Yarmouth. 
[8. Eastern Golden Plover {Charadrius fulvus). 
In December, 1874, Mr. Edward Kidwell detected an example 
of this Asiatic Plover in Leadenhall Market, said to have 
been sent from Norfolk {cf. ‘Ibis,’ 1875, p. 513). That 
it was killed somewhere in England is highly probable. 
It is said to have been taken three times in Heligoland, 
and several times in ^lalta.] 
102. Golden Plover {Charadrius pluvialis). 
A few Golden Plover arrive in this county very early in the 
autumn, having been met with in the end of July and middle of 
August ; but it is not till late in September that they appear in 
any numbers, thence throughout the winter they are to be met 
with in Hocks; but Mr. Stevenson (‘Birds of Norfolk,’ vol. ii. p. 67) 
is of opinion, in support of which he quotes the experience of 
several old sportsmen, that they occur in less numbers than 
formerly. On the return migration, they have been met with in 
this county late in April, or even in May, in full breeding plumage; 
but tills must not be taken as an indication of their breeding here, 
and this remark applies equally to several other Waders, for 
instance, the Grey Plover, Dunlin, and Godwit. — S.
