frequently occurs in our markets. Mr. Rodd, of Penzance, and sports- 
men generally, often speak of this bird when writing to a friend,

Although instances are on record in which this bird has been met 
with in this countr y in summer, there is no sufticient evidence of its 
having bred here, and it must continue to be regarded as a regular 
winter visitant.

for the ‘fairy -like Phalaropes, of which there are three species, two 
of which frequent Britain.

Grey PHAaLarore (summer plumage). 
This beautiful little bird has of late years been noticed as a 
regular autumn visitant, occasionally appearing in considerable 
numbers. It is remarkable that although flocks pass through 
England in the autumn (when the species is moving southward for 
the winter), none are seen here on the return journey in spring, 
which shows that they go back by a different route.
