Bohemian Waxwing. 511 



in Dec. 1834, at Sudbury, Suffolk: it is preserved in the 

 private collection of a gentleman in that town. — Henry 

 Turner, Bury St. Edmunds. [Our friend and correspondent 

 J. Grubb, Lexden, Essex, has informed us that the individual 

 was " a very fine n one, and that the preserved specimen is 

 in his " brother's possession," at Sudbury, Suffolk.] 



The Hoopoe, an individual of, has been shot in Cornwall, 

 and is in the possession of Mr. J. Brown, Bath. [Bury and 

 Suffolk Herald, Jan. 28. 1835.) 



An individual of the hoopoe has been lately shot near Char- 

 mouth, Dorsetshire, by Lord Bridport's gamekeeper : it has 

 been preserved by my brother, Mr. F. P. Morris. — F. O. 

 Morris, B. A. Lendal, York, Nov. 10. 1834. 



The Bohemian Waxwing, or Chatterer, was unusually plentiful 

 in the neighbourhood of Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk (IV. 

 165.), in the few days in January, 1835, in which snow lay 

 upon the ground. On the 19th, 4 were seen in Rushbrook ; on 

 the 21st, a party of 9 or 10 was observed in the neighbourhood 

 of Rougham ; and, on the same day, 1 was shot at Liver- 

 mere, feeding on the hips [fruit] of a rose ; and either 2 or 

 3 were seen in Ickworth Park. About the same time, 1 was 

 shot at Norton, and 4 were seen in Nowton, and one in the 

 gardens of Hardwicke House. On the, I believe, 24th, 5 or 

 6 were seen feeding on the haws of hedges in the neighbour- 

 hood of Ixworth. The one shot at Norton had several haws 

 in its stomach, as had another that was shot in the neighbour- 

 hood of Bungay. Two, at least, additional have been shot 

 in or about Thetfbrd. — Henry Turner [Curator of the Bo- 

 tanic Garden]. Bury St Edmunds, Jan. 30. 1835. 



In Worcestershire, a male was shot at Radford, near Eve- 

 sham, and a female at Claines, both during the past winter ; 

 and of the two, deemed " a fine pair," the preserved forms 

 are in the museum of the Worcestershire Natural History 

 Society. (Berrow's Worcester Journal, April 16. 1835.) 



A very fine individual (a male it was presumed to be), which 

 had its colours remarkably bright and vivid, and the four 

 central of its tail-feathers terminated each with a horny ap- 

 pendage, the colour of red sealing-wax, and identical in kind 

 with that with which each of certain feathers in the wings is 

 terminated, was killed near Harnaby Bridge, in the neigh- 

 bourhood of Carlisle, Cumberland, on Dec. 8. 1831. This 

 was a second individual, with appendages to certain feathers 

 of the tail, which had been taken in the neighbourhood of 

 Carlisle, Cumberland. (Philosophical Magazine, Feb. 1832, 

 p. 84.)
