tigny, and received on the 6th October by M. A. Marchand, who

 on authority of M. E. Fairmaire, J. f. 0. p. 390. 



50. Ostend, 2° 50' E. A male, " en apparence de I'annee," 

 killed 4th January 1864, by M. H. Serruys. M. de Selys- 

 Longchamps, on authority of Professor Poelman, B. A. B. 1864,

51. Bergues, 2° 25' E. Several supposed to have been ob- 

 served. The people in Picardy imagined that their appearance

 M. A. Marchand, R. Z. p. 391. 



52. Yarmouth*, 1° 35' E. One female found dead on the 

 beach, 23rd May. One male shot, 6th June, now in Mr. J. H. 

 Gurney's collection. One female killed, 20th June, in Mr. 

 Newcome's collection. A male and female sent thence, 8th 

 July. Small parties observed throughout August and Sep- 

 tember. Mr. Stevenson, locc. citt. 



53. Waxham, 1° 43' E. One male and three females killed, 

 4th June, out of a flock of eight or nine birds. Two of these 

 were presented to the Museum at Norwich. One male killed, 

 24th June. Mr. Stevenson, locc. citt. 



54. Winterton, 1° 42' E. One male killed, 17th June, out of 

 a flock, which, since the 10th of that month, had been seen on 



of it as if situated in the Department of the Somme. After consulting 

 several maps, I can find no such place within the limits of that depart- 

 ment; but in the adjoining Department of the Aisne there is a very vi'ell- 

 known town, named St. Quentin, and as that is built on the banks of the 

 river Somme, I suppose it may be the locality intended. 



* Mr. Stevenson having taken the trouble to sift out the particulars of 

 Sand-Grouse which have been killed in the counties of Norfolk and Suffolk, 

 and to compile therefrom three excellent papers which have appeared in 

 the 'Zoologist' for the past year (Zool. pp. 8/08-8718, 8849-8852, and 

 p. 8957), I shall in this article follow the decisions which he has arrived 

 at, instead of quoting the original authorities. Judging from the records, 

 the number of bhds (69 or 70) obtained in those two counties far exceeds the 

 number obtained in any other district of Em-ope of like size.
