Jolin Hancockj ut supra citatum. If there be, as I consider 

 there is, an error in the information supplied to Mr. Tristram 

 respecting the Teesmouth examples, these are the earliest re- 

 corded occurrences of the bird in England last year.

121. Muchalls, 2° 12' W. ?* Two killed, out of a flock of 

 at least fifteen, 28th May. Sir William Jardine, on authority of 

 Prof. Dickie, 'Edinburgh New Philosophical Magazine,' p. 167. 



122. Eccleshall, 2° 15' W. Two shot, out of a flock of about 

 twenty, 22nd May. Mr. S. Yates, 'Times,' 28th May. 



* In Sir William Jardine's notice, the name of the locality is called 

 " Munchals "; but as I can find no such place on any map that I have con- 

 sulted, I presume it is a misprint for Muchalls.
