Mr. H. E. Strickland read a list of Birds noticed or obtained by 

 him in Asia Minor, in the winter of 1835 and spring of 1836. 



He stated that the winter of last year was one of unusual severity 

 in all parts of Europe. At Smyrna, where he resided from Novem- 

 ber to February, the weather, which had been mild in the early 

 part of December, underwent a sudden change about Christmas- 

 day. A north wind and violent storms of snow brought vast flocks 

 of northern Birds to take shelter in Smyrna Bay. A frost of more 

 than three weeks followed, a circumstance almost without parallel 

 at Smyrna, which is situated close to the sea and in the low latitude 

 of 38|°. This statement will explain the occurrence in the following 

 list, of many Birds whose usual abode is in high northern latitudes.
