274 RAMBLES OF A NATURALIST. 



I have seen the young male Peregrine which lamed itself 

 against a floating-light, and was recorded as the present 

 species ("Naturalist," 1853, p. 60) though the mistake was 

 afterwards corrected (p. 135). It is a very fine bird, but 

 not the rarity we could have wished. 



Red-footed Falcon. 



A mature male near Marsden Rock, October, \Z^6,fide 

 Albany Hancock (Mag. of Zool. and Bot., I., p. 491). 



Snowy Owl.

 fide Mr. H. Gornall (Hancock, Cat. of the Birds of North- 

 umberland and Durham, p. 20). 



Eagle Owl. 



I receive with some doubt the statement of an Eagle Owl 

 being got on the moors, (Selby, Brit. Orn., I., p. ?>i^ but I 

 am assured that one was seen at Seaton Carew. 



Tengmalm's Owl. 



Near Marsden, October nth (cir.), 1848 (Zool., ss. 1799, 

 2765) (Hancock, op. cit, p. 20).

 of this fine addition to the Ornis of Durham are given by 

 Mr. Sclater (Zool., 3019, 3041).
