Piping Plover {utfLgialites me- 
lodu's) too were taken here last spring for the first time, though I 
am not certain that more than four specimens were observed. 
Two of these were shot by the Baron de Tuyll, and are now m 
the collection of the Natural History Society here.

24. 2£gialitis meloda. Piping Plover. — More common than the 
last, and breeding in the same situations. Young fully fledged before the 
middle of July. On the sand bar, about half a mile long and a hundred 
yards wide, stretching between Grindstone and All Right Islands, two 
pairs of this species and three pairs of semipalmata were breeding. 
The Piping kept half of the beach to themselves, the Semipalmated taking 
the lest, neither species, as far as we were able to observe, ever ventur- 
ing on tile territory belonging to the other.

111. iEgialitis meloda. Piping Plover. — Regular migrant, not 
very common, May 16 to 24 (earliest May 1, 1891); and June 20 to 25. 
Curiously enough all the old specimens in local collections are referable 
to meloda, and the last record is June 20, 1894; the first record of circum- 
cincta is May 24, 1891, and all recent records belong to this form.
