Hoopoe taken at Fishguard, Pembroke. — It may be mat- 

 ter of interest to your ornithological correspondents to know 

 that a Hoopoe was shot by Mr. James Bowen, at Llwyngwair, 

 near Newport in Pembrokeshire, on the 6th of this month, and 

 is now in the possession of Dr. Rowland, 57, Wimpole Street, 

 London. It came into the drawing-room at Llwyngwair, ap- 

 peared tame, and was observed to take its food in the peculiar 

 manner mentioned in your Maguzine, vol. ii. p. ^9Q. The 

 last shot in this neighbourhood on record, is that mentioned 

 in Fenton's History of Pembrokeshire, page 17. — Henry 

 McLauchlan, F.G.S.— Fishguard, March 24th, 1840.
