A MALE specimen, killed on the 23rd of June, corresponds exactly with Temminck's description of the breeding plumage; but a female killed on the same day has a considerable intermixture of white, in the parts that are black in the male. The specimens are equal in size, and 11| inches long. In addition to the characters which Temminck gives for distinguishing this species from the golden plover, with some states of which it has been occa- sionally confounded, the greater size and strength of the bill, mentioned by Wilson, are very conspicuous, when the birds are compared. The eggs of the gray plover, collected on Melville Peninsula, are of an oil- green colour, with irregular spots of umber-brown, of different degrees of intensity, crowded and running into each other towards the obtuse end. 13.
