In the journal for December, 1951,pp.405-406, a report was given of a colony of a Small -plovers, Glareola lactea Temmnick that had been observed briefly in 1951 on a sand bar in the Hemavathi river at Sakleshpur, Hassan District, Mysore state. During 1952 it was attempted to extend observations on these birds, and also to study the avifauna and history of the nesting site in relating the Swallow-plovers. Owing to only sporadic opportunities to visit story as might be desired, but a seasonal; trend of events can nevertheless be discerned.
