66 BIRDS OBSERVED IN PURBECK. 



122. Common Creeper, Certhia familians, 

 125. Common Wren, Troglodytes Europoeus, 



124. Hoopoe, Uupupa Epops 



Has frequently been killed in the Isle of Purbeck. 

 Yarrell, in his "History of British Birds," speaks of 

 this part of the coast as appearing to be one of the 

 most favourite haunts of the Hoopoe in this country, 

 and that he had seen, in the collection of the Rev. Mr. 

 Bartlett, at Swnnage, in the autumn of 1827, three 

 Hoopoes, all killed in that vicinity. On the 9th of 

 May, 1850, I saw two Hoopoes in the garden of the 

 parsonage at Langton, where they had been observed 

 for several days ; being disturbed, they flew towards 

 the woods and were not seen again. The Rev. O. L. 

 Mansel informs me of two other specimens having 

 occurred in Purbeck, one in the Kimmeridge valley, 

 near the village, which was not killed ; the other was 

 killed at Studland. One was killed at Corfe about 

 eight years since, which is now in Encombe house, 

 and another at the same place, in the possession of 

 the Rev. E. Bankes. Dr. Pulteney also records its 

 having been killed near Wareham.
