120 BRITISH BIRDS. 



Iceland Falcon {Falco islandus). — Trapped by Alexander 

 Murray, in April, 1888, at St. Fergus Sands, Banffshire. 



Nutcracker {Nucifraga c. caryocatactes) . — ^Penhurst (not 

 Penshurst, as printed), near Ashburnham, Sussex, November 

 7th, 1908. 



Gull-billed Tern {Sterna anglica). — Shot by the Jate 

 Mr. M. F. Wykeham-Martin in Romney Marsh, Kent, on 

 September 12th, 1862. 



Besides these, certain important corrections must be 

 noted : — 



Willow-Tit {Parus atricapillus kleinschmidti) . — It is pointed 

 out (p. 186) that one of the birds in Booth's case of Marsh- 

 Tits, obtained near Plumpton in March, 1866, belongs to 

 this species. 



Scandinavian Rock-Pipit [Anthus spinoletta littoralis). — 

 The two specimens hitherto recorded as Water-Pipits 

 {A. 8. spinoletta) in the Borrer collection, and obtained at 

 Shoreham in August, 1868, and on March 9th, 1869, belong 

 to this race. 



Meadow-Pipit {Anthus pratensis). — The bird, obtained 

 at Brighton on March 13th, 1884, and recorded as a Red- 

 throated Pipit {A. cervinus) is now catalogued under its 

 correct name {cf. Vol. II., p. 278). 



Brown-backed Warbler {Aedon galactotes syriaca). — 

 The Rufous Warbler, shot at Ninfield, May 18th, 1910, is 

 also now catalogued under its correct name {cf. Vol. IV., 

 p. 310). 



Nutcracker {Nucifraga caryocatactes macrorhynchus) . — 

 The original Sussex specimen recorded and figured by Borrer 

 {Birds of Sussex, p. 156), shot at Littlington, September 

 26th, 1844, has been found to belong to the thin-billed 

 Siberian race. 



It remains to notice a fault which we hope may be corrected 

 in all subsequent editions of the Catalogue, as it is one which 

 cannot fail to detract from the value of the excellent wc 

 it contains. We refer to the almost total absence throughout 

 of the scientific names of the species dealt with. No doubt 

 they were omitted from the original edition, but since other 

 notes have since been added, the addition of the scientific 

 names can in nowise interfere with Booth's own notes, and 

 while adding to the usefulness of the Catalogue to the scientific 

 worker, it can make no difference to the ordinary visitor, for 

 whom, no doubt, the catalogue is primarily intended. N.F.T.
