neighbourhood of Huddersfield ; Reed Warbler, Black Redstart, several specimens of 

 which were taken by a bird-catcher near Leeds; the Stock Dove, killed near York, 

 and occurring not unfrequently near Sheffield ; it has also been seen m Feversham 

 Park ; Little Bittern, shot at Birdsall, near Malton ; Polish Swan, killed near Brid- 

 lington ; GuUbilled Tern, taken alive near Leeds ; and the Ivory Gull, shot some 

 years ago off Scarborough by a gentleman resident in York. The report was remark- 

 able for the number and variety of marine birds reported to occur about Huddersfield 

 and Barnsley, apparently in a state of transition from the east to the west seas ; as 

 also for recording the last instances of the occurrence of that noble bird the Great 

 Bustard, which has now been extinct about twenty years in the county of York; it 

 also notices the great diminution in number, of many species formerly plentiful, and 

 which, in the course of a few more years, will also probably be numbered with the 

 extinct ; and has added numerous individuals to those already recorded of many of 

 the rarer species ; also a notice of the time of arrival of many of our summer visitants, 

 from the pen of John Heppenstall of Sheffield, and a register of the arrival and depar- 

 ture of the swallow tribe, from the pen of W. Gott, Esq. of Leeds : the number of 

 Yorkshire species appears to be 252.
