BIRD NOTES.

IN BIRD NOTES (May, 1916) I described a nest of the Norfolk Plover found in a mango grove; it may be of interest therefore to describe another nest in a different situation.

During the course of an afternoon’s collecting on the banks and islands of the river Chenab, near Jhang, on 25th May, 1919, one of my companions produced a fresh egg which I); unfortunately at the time when he found the nest he said nothing, but simply took the egg and gave it to me later on when it was too late for the identity to be verified. However, I learned approximately where it had been found, and chancing to be in the same place on 8th June, went to see whether there was any trace of a pair of these Plovers.
