from the Lake-dwellings of Glastonbury. 357 



Recently Dr. Herluf Winge has called my attention to a 

 paper "^ in which he has recorded the occurrence of remains 

 of Pelecanus crisjnis in kitchen-middens of the Stone Age 

 at Havnoe^ on the north side of the Manager Fjord, on the 

 eastern coast of Denmark. This discovery is particularly 

 interesting, because it supplies a further proof that in former 

 times the area of distribution of this bird extended much 

 more Avidely in North-western Europe than at present f. 



The other species of birds of which i-emains occur in this 

 collection are : — 



CoRvus coRONE L. Carriou-Cro w. 

 Tibia, humerus, and metacarpus. 



AsTUR p.-iLUMBARius (L.). Goshawk. 

 Left tibia. 



Haliaetus albicilla (L.). White-tailed Sea-Eagle. 



Left tibia. This is closely similar to the tibia from super- 

 ficial deposits of Walthamstow, Essex, which has been re- 

 ferred by Lydekker to H. pelagians. 



MiLvus icTiNus Sav. Kite. 

 Left tarso-metataisus. 



Strix flammea L. Barn-Owl. 

 Two specimens of the tibio-tarsus. 



Phalacrocorax carbo (L.). Cormorant. 

 Numerous bones. 



Ardea cinerea L. Common Heron. 

 A portion of a skull. 



BoTAURUS STELLARis (L.). Common Bittern. 

 Bight femur. 



Ducks (Anatida). 

 As might be expected in such a locality, by far the greater 

 number of the remains belong to various Anserine birds.
