At about six o*clock this morning as I was dressing, 
I heard a Golden Plover whistle seven or eight times. It was 
evidently flying and apparently at a considerable height 
and towards the eastward. I cannot recall noting this 
j-j-A. species in Concord for more than thirty years. If I remem¬

others at Hubbardville the first year (1867) the family 
occupied their farm there.
