In Mr. Bond’s collection is a very fine specimen in full 
breeding plumage, taken at Cheyenne, May 21, 1898.

One in Mr. Carter’s collection was shot from a large flock 
seen by him in the fall on Grand Lake in Middle Park.

Plover. 
There is one in the Bond collection, taken at Cheyenne, May 13, 
1892, but although this is so close to Colorado, and it is known in both Kan¬ 
sas and Nebraska, yet up to the present time it has no record for this State.]

“Western United States, from California east to Kansas and western 
Gulf States.”—(A. O. U.) Surely this ought to include Colorado, but it has 
no record here as yet.]

Mr. Carter has never seen them at Breckenridge, even in 
migration, but has found them breeding in South Park.

Eight of these birds were killed on Berkeley Lake near 
Denver, May 18, 1900, and four of them, two males and two 
females, were mounted by Mr. Rudolph Borcherdt. 
Page 69. 289. Colinus virginianus. Bob-white. 
Introduced about 1891 near Grand Junction and still occurs 
there, but not in anywhere near the numbers of the California 
Partridge. They occur in the Wet Mountain valley to at least 
8,000 feet. They are native and not uncommon at Wray, in 
eastern Colorado on the plains. 
Page 69. Add. [289b. Colinus virginianus texanus. Texan Bob-white. 
As its name implies, this is a Texas species, inhabitating southern and 
western Texas. It has been taken in southwestern Kansas. If it occurs any¬ 
where in Colorado it would be in the extreme southeastern corner, along the 
Cimarron river. No ornithologist has ever penetrated this part of Colorado, 
which undoubtedly holds many new records for the fortunate one that ex¬ 
plores it. It is fair to presume that of the dozen or fifteen species known to 
occur along the Cimarron a little further east, that have not yet been taken 
in Colorado, that several follow it up occasionally into this State. Whoever 
goes into that country should seek especially for the Lesser Prairie Hen, the 
Texan Bob-white, and settle definitely whether the Turkey of that region is 
the eastern form. So far as is known to the present writer, all of the Turkeys 
in the various collections in the State are referable to the Mexican form.
