Liniicol ae in Bristol County. 
H. F. Dexter , Dartmouth, Mass. 
Black-bellied Plover, Squatarola helvetica. 
Seldom seen in spring ; a few instances of cap- 
ture April ’82 and ’ 84 . In autumn they occur 
more frequently, though never very common. 
Arriving about the middle of September they 
remain nearly a month, September 3 rd and Oc- 
tober 11th being the two extreme dates of ob- 
servation. Have never seen it on the uplands, 
but it has been frequently shot about the inte- 
rior ponds.
