ORNITHOLOGICAL XOTES FOR 1890-7. 

 By R. G. Clayton. 



There is not much to record for the past year, which 

 opened with fine weather, and continued thus until July. 

 About that month rain and low temperatures generally pre- 

 vailed, but no violent storms, consequently the migration 

 and nesting of birds were not interfered with, or out of the 

 ordinary. Owing to my being able to attend only two of the 

 Club excursions, I regret that of observations at the meetings I 

 noted practically none, those I made applying merely to the 

 commonest species. 



I have the following to mention : — 



1896. 



16th Jaxuaby — Male Shag (Phalacrocorax cristatus) shot 

 in Lonsdale. This species is rarely obtained on our immediate 

 Coast, but four were seen several times during same mimtli, as 

 Mr. T. H. Xelson informed me.
