generally during the winter season. It has also been shot on 
the river Stour, which divides the counties of Essex and Suffolk. 
A pair of Spoonbills were seen at Cromer in June 1818; and 
one was killed at Yarmouth in the month of May of the same 
year. In the stomach of this last bird there was an abundance 
of the shells of shrimps. | 
Genus XLIX. Isis. 
1. I. Falcinellus (Glossy Ibis). 
We have seen a bird of this species which was shot in the 
winter of 1818 in the marshes on the western coast of Norfolk, 
near Lynn. It did not appear to have attained its full plumage, 
from the circumstance of its having four transverse bars of white 
on its throat. In the month of May 1822, three birds of this spe- 
cies were seen at Hockwold in Norfolk. Two of them were 
killed, and are in the possession of the Rev. Henry Tilney of 
that place. 
Genus L. Numentvs. 
1. N. Arquata (Curlew). 
Curlews may be met with at all times of the year between 
Ipswich and Harwich; but their nests have hitherto not been 
found in those parts. The common note of this species is hoë, 
hoé, hoë, hoé. It has another note, which may be sounded kor- 
lew, whence its name. 
2. N. Phæopus (Whimbrel, Half-Curlew). 
These birds arrive upon the coasts of Essex and Suffolk early 
in May, and migrate again in the latter part of the autumn. The 
note of the Whimbrel may be thus expressed, weddy, tetty, tetty, 
tetty, tet, quickly repeated.
