NATURAL HISTORY. 



1856 — 1857. 



BIRDS. 



The winter having been unusually mild has afforded very few 

 of those rarer species which occasionally visit our shores during 

 that season. 



A Cinereous Eagle, A quila alhicilla, was seen near Lang- 

 ton in November, by Mr. Lester. 



A flight of Bar-tailed Godwits, Limosa rufa, appeared 

 early in the autumn, one of which was obtained for the 

 Museum. 



The Crested Shag, Phalacrocorax cristatuSj has bred on 

 our shores this spring. 



The Additions to our list are 



15. The Rough Legged Buzzard. Buteo lagopus. 



One was shot at Rempstone, in November, and is there 

 preserved. 



25. The Tawny Owl. Syrnium Aluco. 



In the Grange woods. 

 89. The Cirl Bunting. Emheriza Cirlus. 



I observed a pair of these birds at Steeple, in August.
