plumage of the female ; and Mr. Hunt found that the windpipe 
of this bird exactly resembled that of the Goosander. 
2. M. Serrator (Red-breasted Merganser). 
. Dr. Hooker purchased a bird of this kind in the market at 
Norwich. It.is not uncommon on the Essex coast. 
3. M. albellus (Smew). 
It is not uncommon to meet with Smews on the Suffolk coast 
in cold weather; and they were plentiful at Yarmouth in the 
winter of 1819-20. 
Genus LXVI. CARBO. 
1. C. Cormoranus (Cormorant). 
2. C. Graculus (Shag). 
In an expedition on the Stour, Sept. 30, 1820, we perceived 
a bird at a distance swimming prodigiously fast. By great 
exertion we got near it, when it dived and came up two or three 
hundred yards in our rear. The force and velocity of this bird 
in the water were shown by its leaving behind it a white foam- 
ing line like the wake of a ship, and which was distinguishable 
at the distance of several hundred yards. 
Genus LXVII. Sura. 
1. S. alba (Gannet). 
Dr. Hooker informs us that a young Gannet was taken alive 
some years since in the winter season at Pulham, and exhibited 
at Norwich: it was very fierce. This bird has also been met 
with both at Lynn and Yarmouth.
