To the Editors of BRITTSH BIRDS. 

 BULLETIN B.O.G., VOL. XXVIII.— CORRECTIOXS. 



Sirs, — Will you kindly allow me to point out one or two unfortunate 

 errors in the last (sixth) Migration Report ? 



On page 214 the records of the Yellow-broM^ed Warbler have got 

 into a sad muddle, and I very much fear that I alone am responsible 

 for this. In line 2 delete " and 30th," line 3 should read " October 

 the 2nd and 24th" etc., the word October in line 4 should be deleted, 

 and in line 6 " 28th of October and 4th of November" should read 

 " 28th of September and 4th of October " 



On page 257 the two first records of the Black Tern have been 

 transposed, the Hampshire one belonging to August the 3rd and the 

 Anglesey one to September the 8th. As the accuracy of these may be 

 important to county ornithologists, I take the earliest opportunity of 

 correcting them. N. F. Ticehurst, 



Hon. Sec. B.O.C. Migration Committee. 



[Mention may here be made of the following items in the Report 

 which should have been included in my notice on page 176. Several 

 Black Redstarts {R. titys) seen and four killed at the Would Lt. -vessel 

 (Norfolk) at 2 a.m. on May 2nd, 1910. A Blue-headed Wagtail 

 [M. flava) got at St. Catherine's Lt. (I. of W.) on the night of 

 May 4th 5th, 1910. A Kingfisher {A. ispida) killed at the South 

 Foreland Lt. (Kent) at 1.45 a.m. on May 15th, 1910, and another at 

 the Leman and Ower Lt. -vessel (Norfolk) at 2 a.m. on October 13th, 

 1909. A pair of Kentish Plover (^. cantiana) seen on the Hampshire 

 coast on May 11th, 1910. Eight Quail (C. communis) apparently 

 locally bred, found near Salisbury (Wilts.) in September and October, 

 1 909. A single Little Stint {T. minuta) at Tring (Herts. ) on August 29th, 

 1909, and single Curlew-Sandpipers {T. suharquata) at the same place 

 on August 29t'i and September 12th.— H.F.W.]
