302 APPENDIX II 



Saw dipper {Cindus Mjuaticus) and heard many common green 

 woodpeckers {Gecimis viridis), both new to my Neuenahr list. 



Jutie 25///. Letter from T. telling me of various casualties 

 amongst birds at Lilford, which Paul MoUen had ignored. Notice 

 in field from W. Tomalin of teal {Anas crecca) breeding at Ecton, 

 Northamptonsh ire. 



June 21th. Letter from J. H. Gurney telling me that falcon 

 brought by Leo from Nile is a puzzling specimen, more particularly 

 so as it is not sexed, but he is inclined to consider it F. punicus. 



June iZth. Saw a large white-looking bird on wing far away 

 in the direction of Apollinaris, which must, I think, have been a 

 stork (Ciconia alba) or a large gull, either of which are new to my 

 Neuenahr list. 



June 2()th. Letter from W. Tomalin, dated 28th, with more 

 particulars of teal at Ecton {vide 25th inst. and for details to 

 Book of Northamptonshire, vol. ii., under this date). 



Letters from G. Hunt telling me that the hobby's nest before 

 mentioned in Geddington Chase "is in a straight grown oak, an 

 old crow's nest about thirty feet from the ground and some two 

 hundred yards from nearest track or riding " {vide June 23rd). 



June ■^oth. Letters from Paul Mollen telling me that the 

 two gulls {Larus domiiiicanus and L. argentatus) in courtyard at 

 Lilford had paired again this spring, nested, laid, and hatched out 

 three young ones, two of which he has lost. He also says that he 

 thinks that the supposed saker {F. sacer) from Castang is a Barbary 

 falcon {vide June 24th). 



Two very young falcons brouglit to me alive from the 

 Landskrone, so small that I cannot tell what they are.
