Descriptions are given of the calibre and of" the successive 

 order in which the arteries supplying the intestines branch 

 off from the common csecial trunk. 



The humeral artery in Eudyptes antipodum is the simple 

 continuation of the a. humeralis as in other birds. In 

 E. chi-ysocome it is broken up into numerous collateral 

 branches down to the elbow-joint, whilst in Ajjtenodytes 

 pennanti it is transformed into a complete plexus. 



An exhaustive and exact description of the arteries of the 

 hind limb is added. The Sphenisci are remarkable for the 

 multiplicity of their arterial ramifications.

 (EritJiacus suecica) in Norfolk. By J. II. Gurney, Jun., F.Z.S. Tr.

Nine examples of this species were shot, and at least a 

 score seen, at Blakeney, between the 14th and 22nd Septem- 

 ber, 1883; and one more was killed on the 15th of the same 

 month, near Yarmouth. On the 22nd September one was 

 shot on the coast of Northumberland, and on the 21st one 

 was seen at Teesmouth, in Durham. Earlier in the same 

 year, viz. on the 2tid September, one was obtained on the 

 Isle of May, in the Firth of Forth. Between September 

 15-18, 1884, several were shot and more were observed on 

 Spurn Head, in south-east Yorkshire, as has been recorded 

 by Mr. Theodore Fisher (Zool. 1884, p. 430).
