A United States Record of the Pacific Golden Plover

The Dickey collection at the California Institute of Technology contains a specimen (no. 21286) of Pluvialis dominica fulva, which was collected at Clallam Bay, Clallam County, Washington, on October 28, 1921, by Carl Lien. The original source of this specimen was the D. E. Brown collection, which was purchased by Mr. Dickey in 1927. It may he added that Major Allan Brooks has recently examined the bird (a male of the year) and has verified my own identification.
