198 Mr. Montagu's Remarks on Falco cy miens, 



Tantalus viridis. 



Ind. Orn. ii. p. 70?. 15. 



Green Ibis. Lath. Syn. v. p. 114. 13. 



This species was shot in the interior part of Devonshire about 

 the middle of September, in the same year as the preceding : it 

 is a male, and occupies a place with the last. 



Whether this, the Bay, and the Glossy Ibis are specifically 

 distinct, admits of doubt, and requires further investigation. 



SCOLOPAX NOVEBORACENSIS. 



Ind. Orn. ii. p. 723. 32. 

 Red-breasted Snipe. Lath. Syn. v. p. 153. 26, 



A small flock of these extremely rare birds made their appear- 

 ance on the coast of Devon in the spring of the year 1803, 

 one of which was shot in my neighbourhood, and is now in my 

 museum. Soon after, I received information that a similar bird 

 had been shot at Weymouth, in company with several others ; 

 and the skin of another was sent to me, which had been killed 

 at Sandwich in Kent; probably belonging to the same flock, as 

 the account of the number seen last on the east coast tallied 

 nearly with what first was noticed in the west, allowing for those 

 which are stated to have been shot.

 Ind. Orn. ii. p. 753. 1.
