2. L. parasiticus (Arctic Gull). 
We are informed by Joseph Sabine, Esq. that he procured a 
young Arctic Gull, killed on a rabbit-warren near Brandon the 
beginning of October 1819. In the same month another bird of 
this species was shot at Yarmouth. 
Genus LXIII. PROCELLARIA. 
1. P. pelagica (Stormy Petrel). 
This kind of Petrel sometimes makes its appearance on the 
coasts, and has been shot from the beach at Yarmouth. The 
oil issued from the nostrils of one which we killed on the Stour, 
May 29th, 1820. The forepart of the head of this bird is cu- 
riously peaked, which does not seem to be noticed by any author. 
It is extremely buoyant when floating on the water. 
Genus LXIV. Axas. 
1. Anser ferus (Gray-lag Goose). 
2. A. Segetum (Bean Goose). 
The Bean Goose is occasionally met with in this part of the 
island, particularly about Yarmouth. It is said to be more 
common than the Gray-lag Goose. 
3. A. albifrons (White-fronted Goose). 
4. A. leucopsis (Bernacle Goose). 
5. A. Bernicla (Brent Goose). 
During the winter the Brent Goose is not uncommon. The 
cry of a flock of these birds very much resembles the noise of a 
pack
