 Alpine Swift, the records of which are not entirely satisfac- 

 tory, are included in the list, but placed in square brackets.

 By J. H. Gurney, F.Z.S. Brit. Bds., London, xiv. 1921, pp. 242-252.] 



Mr. Gurney's annual report on Norfolk ornithology

 classified notes. There were no events of unusual im-

 stayed about three weeks, though they did not breed, but 

 the Bitterns are now becoming comparatively common, and 

 many nests are located every year.
