,^\4j^^^., THE LITTLE RINGED PLOVER. ^GiALiTis CURONICA (J. F. Gmelin). The true Little Ringed Plover is one of the rarest of our occa- sional visitors, and the genuine instances of its occurrence appear to be the following :—Years ago, Doubleday obtained an example at Shoreham in Sussex, and Mr. W. Borrer has another, shot near the mouth of Chichester Harbour, in May; Rodd's collection contains one killed on October 23rd 1863, at Trescoe in the Scilly Islands; while on Kingsbury Reservoir in Middlesex, in August 1864, Mr. Harting and Mr. R. H. Mitford each obtained an immature bird ; and in the Seebohm collection at the British Museum there is an adult female shot at Freshwater, Isle of Wight, in August. Others have been recorded from time to time in ' The Zoologist' and else- where, but all those which have been submitted to competent authorities have proved to be specimens of the small Continental form of the Ringed Plover. The distinctions between the two are mentioned at the end of this article. It is somewhat remarkable that the Little Ringed Plover should so seldom visit us, inasmuch as it is common on the Continent at no great distance from our shores. It is only a wanderer to the Faeroes, but it nests in Scandinavia, and according to Bogdanow, occurs sparingly as far north as 64-66° N. lat. in Russia; while it owes its specific name to its occurrence in Courland, and it breeds
