Tringoides maealarius. 
Middlesex County, Mass. 
(May 31) Nest with two eggs in Lexington. The female star¬ 
ted directly under my feet, tumbling about for a moment 
then, with dropping wings, tottering legs, and all the ’ 
feathers of the rump erected in a curious manner, ran 
about t?/snty yards when she was joined by her mate, 
both standing motionless and silent watching me with 
evident apprehension.
