Several puzzling cases of foot-trembling are described in the black-fronted dotterel (Charadrius melanops) in the southern part of the North Island, preceded by an account of its normal habitat and feeding methods during the year. The significance of foot-trembling is discussed in the light of discussion in British Birds. Similar observations on any New Zealand birds are called for.
