112 Mr. YAnnELU' Description of a Species of Tringa. 
hanced by the twofold circumstance, of its extreme rarity, as 
well as being in a different state of plumage from the only other 
specimen known. 
The plumage and the state of ossification of the tarsi prove 
this specimen to be a young bird of the year; but whether bred 
in the marshes of the county in which it was killed, or, having 
wandered from America to the northern part of our island, had 
accompanied the Dotterell in their southern autumnal visit to 
the chalk district of Cambridgeshire, can only be conjectured. 
The extensive range of hills around Melbourne are frequented 
by Dotterell in considerable numbers for a short period during 
every spring and autumn, in their way to and from their breed- 
ing-ground ; and the only locality from which I could ever 
obtain their eggs was the Grampian Hills. 
But three of the many additions to British ornithology that 
have lately occurred having been recorded in the Transactions 
of the Linnean Society, I take the opportunity this communica- 
tion affords me, of adding a list of thirteen others, with a refe- 
rence to the authorities from whom the first notices of these 
addenda have emanated. The names of the three above men- 
tioned are also included to complete the list.
