Table showing occurrences reported "of the Grey Phalarope on the 

 Dublin coast and its vicinity during the nineteenth century. 



In addition to this list of twenty-one occurrences from the Dublin coast, 

 three other records may be added from a foot-note by Thompson in his 

 book "Nat. Hist, of Ireland," vol. ii., p.*342. He states "December, 

 1849, I saw 7 in the collection of Mr. J. Watters. jun., Dublin, three 

 Phalaropes, one of which was shot in the ba} there on the 13th September, 

 1847. The others were sent in a recent state to a bird preserver in that 

 city on the 28th February and 20th June, 1849, but whence I could not 

 learn. The last specimen is the only one I have known to be procured in 

 the summer."
