^gialitis dubia. Little Ring Plover. — An Old World species, 
here probably synonymous with A. semifialmata. 
80. .< 3 £gialitis meloda. Piping Plover. — Mr. Ross writes me that he 
did not take the pair, that a collector called bis attention to nesting close 
to a pond near Otter Creek, where Piping Plover were said to have been 
seen two previous seasons, and owing to this uncertainty of identification, 
and the unlikelihood of such an occurrence the record bad better be 
expunged. 
81. /Egialitis semipalmata. Semipalmated Plover. — Meckanicsville , 
autumn, 187S. Randolph , autumn, 1S50, C- S. Paine. 
/Egialitis wilsonia. Wilson’s Plover. —-Evidently an error. A 
southern species. 
82. Arenaria interpres. Turnstone. Evidently a rare migrant. 
83. Colinus virginianus. Bob-White. — It is known to occur in the 
southeastern part ot' Vermont in a wild state as far north as Londonderry 
and Townshend where it is reported by F. II. Allen and C. II. Evans. 
Mrs. Woodworth writes me one or two are occasionally seen about St. 
Albans, which were probably introduced, and Mr. Ham writes though not 
introduced to his knowledge it occurred once in Johnson in 1901.

occur on Mt. Mansfield in summer, but only in the most northern portions 
of the State. Victoria, C. H. Horton.

lus is found in the valleys in the southern portion of the State, but on and 
about the mountains and in the northern portions the race togata takes 
its place.
