<"' 0>t the Ground. — This entry will be found to be no uncommon one. 

 The worthy Rector seems to have bagged his bird when and how he could. 

 It would scarcely be now regarded as sportsmanlike. 



'"=' Great Ash-coloitred Butcher Bird {Laniiis Exctibitor). — A rarity. 

 Glover mentions an instance of one being shot in Derby. 



t'3' I Least Woodpecker {picns minor). — By no means a common bird. 

 Morris records the shooting of one near Melbourne, Dec. 11, 1844. 



(u) I Weazel (mtcstela). — A tribe still living in the parish. I saw one in 

 August cantering along the dusty highway with a mouse in its mouth.
