The Hooded Ringed Plover is the only species of typical Hiaticulce which combines thetwo characters of a pale grey bach and nearly black central upper tail-coverts. It is aresident on the coasts of the southern half of Australia, and is especially common onTasmania and the adjacent islands in Basss Straits. Sexual selection appears to havegiven this species a black head, but protective selection seems to have restricted it to themale sex and the breeding-season, in consequence of the exposed character of its CHARADRIUS NOV^-ZELANDI^. NEW-ZEALAND PLOVER. Diagnosis. Charadrius rostri tarsique longitudine sequali. Variations. Examples from Auckland Island, presumably young birds, have been described as distinctfrom the New-Zealand species, but this is generally admitted to be an error.
