Dne in company v/ith Semipalmated Plover feeding arnorg 
drift \Yeod on Coatue Point. As I approached it skul¬ 
ked off among the grass, crouching and lowering its head. 
The gunners here call this bird the "craddock”, probably 
from its hoarse rattling note. (Nantucket)* 
One at S' ith*s Point feeding in a large flock of 
Sandling (Nantucket). 
A flock of nine flying along shore Just over the 
SHPfaee iurf. Their flight is swift, their movements

A single specimen seen. Not afterv/ards mentioned 
in my notes on this season. (This ommission was doubtless 
duo to carelessness for I distinctly remember the bird 
as occurring frequently on the Eel Pond every season 
that I shot at Rye Beach, and regularly, in August, 
on the pebbly portions of the beach.).
