A Mountain Plover from Utah.-On March 25, 1946, a female Mountain Plover (Eupoda monrana) was picked up along a roadside fifteen miles southwest of Brigham City, Boxelder County, Utah. Although still living, one wing was broken, probably from collision with nearby wires. The bird was taken to headquarters of the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge where it subsequently died and was prepared as a study skin. This species is not listed in Behle’s Check-list (Condor, 46, 1944: 67-87) as occurring in the state and thus appears to be a new state record.--JOHN B. VAN DEN AKKER, Bear River Refuge, Brigham City, Utah, April 25,1946.
