Mr. Sweet showed me an adult C . virKinlcus . which was shot 
to-day from a flock of about twenty. It was the first speci- 
men that has been killed here this season. 
Saw a flock of about a dozen, between Reed and Hummock 
Ponds . 
When near the town we drove up within thirty-two yards 
of a flock of Golden Plover as they were bathing on the shore 
of a pond. I killed four with one barrel: the horse acted so 
badly that I could not use the other.
