to be remains of shrimps, mixed with a good deal of 
gravel.” 
In 1846 Mr. Dowell had a specimen brought him by 
a gunner named Moy, from Salthouse, described as “the 
first that had been seen there for some years.” He 
also states that another was shot at Salthouse, on the 
26th of April, 1847, by the same man; and in the 
Dennis collection, at Bury, is an adult bird from the 
same locality, marked June, 1847. 
1848. September 7th. Three females shot at Salt- 
house. (“ Zoologist,”’ p. 2292). 
1849. April. One seen near Lynn, during this 
month. (‘ Zoologist,” p. 2455). 
1851. June. Two fine specimens killed at Yarmouth. 
(“ Zoologist,” p. 3208). 
1852. May 2nd. A pair shot on Breydon. In the 
“Naturalist” for this year (p. 128), a pair are also 
recorded as killed at Yarmouth on the 12th of June. 
1853. April (?). An adult male in the Dennis 
collection, at Bury, was procured in the spring of this

1857. April. A single bird was shot at Yarmouth

1867. Of three killed on the sands of the estuary, 
at Lynn, in the spring of this year, one is now in the 
Museum of that town, and a pair in the collection of 
Mr. H. Upcher, of Sherringham. 
In Mr. Gurney’s collection are three specimens killed 
in Norfolk, and Mr. Newcome has a pair in his collec- 
tion at Feltwell; but although I cannot ascertain the 
exact dates, I believe they were procured some twenty 
years ago, and are probably all of them included in the 
above list.
