Of all the English counties Norfolk perhaps is the one 

 where there is most local enthusiasm for ornithology, and 

 the Transactions of the Naturalists' Society bear witness 

 to this. The list of members contains the names of seven 

 Buxtons and six Gurneys, besides those of many other 

 well-known ornithologists. In the present volume we have 

 an interesting account of the courtship postures and move- 

 ments of the Ducks by Mr. H. Wormald, with outline 

 drawings of the attitudes adopted. 



A short note on the autumn migration movements of 

 1913 on the north coast of Norfolk by Mr, B. B. Riviere is 

 followed by a notice by Mr. J. H. Gurney of the irruption of 

 Waxwings which took place during the winter of 1913-14; he 

 believes that the numbers in Norfolk and Suffolk exceeded 

 anything since the winter of 1866-7, though they do uot 

 appear to have been so numerous as in 1849-50. 



Messrs. S. H. Long and B. B. Riviere have compiled a 

 useful list of additions and rare occurrences among the birds 

 of Norfolk for the years 1909-1913. The number recorded 

 up to the end of 1908 was 317 and only one species has 

 since been added — the "Willow Titmouse {Parus atricapillus 

 kleinschmidti). 



As is well known to most of our readers, a tract of land, 

 including a headland with sand-dunes and salt-marshes, 

 near Wells, on the north coast of Norfolk, has recently 

 been made a Nature Reservation under the "National 

 Trust for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty.'' 

 To the ornithologist Blakeney is specially interesting as 

 the breeding-place of the Common and Little Tern, the 

 Ringed Plover, Redshank, and Sheld-DucU. The first annual 

 report of the Trust is printed in this volume, together with
