Wilson’s Plover in Nova Scotia. — I shot on Brier Island, April 28, 1880, 
a female Ochthodromus wilsonius , and have the same in mj collection. 
The wind was blowing very hard from the southeast, and I think carried 
the bird off the shore by and beyond her intended destination ; at any 
rate she appeared tired, alighting directly on reaching the shore, resting 
a few moments, and then running to the edge of the water and bathing 
freely. After dressing her feathers she started along the beach in the 
direction in which I was sitting, a mistake not noticed by her until too 
late. I can find no record of the occurrence of this species so far north, 
therefore think its capture worthy of note. — N. S. Goss, Tofeka , Kansas.
