the Black-browed Albatross in Cambridgeshire [in 1897] ; of 

 Lariis cuchinnans near Yarmouth ; and of a Tawny Pipit, also 

 near Yarmoutli, this beings strange to say_, the first record of 

 the species for Norfolk, though one has been ascribed to 

 Lowestoft, in the next county. In Part 5, Mr. Gurney 

 sketches the distribution of the Bearded Tit in England ; 

 Mr. W. Warde Fowler has a short article on birds 

 observed in tlie Valley of the Somme ; Mr. G. H. Caton 

 Haigh gives details of the acquisition of Lusciniola schwartzl, 

 new to England, and even to Europe ; and Messrs. Gurney 

 and Southwell contribute a very useful supplement, with 

 many additions, to their former list of Norfolk birds. 



In Part 1 of vol. vii. the ornithologist will find much to 

 interest him in Mr. W. A. Nicholson's article on Sir Thomas 

 Browne as a naturalist, and Mr. Southwell contributes one 

 of his semi-antiquarian papers on Wildfowl-driving in the 

 sixteenth century ; while Professor Newton sends a note on 

 the devouring of a Great Bustard, which was probably of 

 Norfolk origin, at a banquet chronicled in ' Memoirs of the 

 Vernon Family' in March 1675. In concluding this notice, 

 we must not omit to say that in each Part Mr. Southwell 

 records the additions to the Norwich Castle Museum, while 

 Mr. A. Patterson's successive Natural History notes from 

 Yarmouth deserve honourable mention. — H. S.

 birds, of which two specimens were obtained by Mr. Tom 

 Carter at North-west Cape, near Exmouth Gulf, N.W. Aus- 

 tralia, in July 1899. "The slender bill, short tarsi, small 

 feet, and abnormally long upper and under tail-coverts " 

 distinguish this form from other Australian genera.
