us on quiet pools. The Oceanic Diving Ducks, such as the Tufted 
Duck, Scaup, and Common Scoter, are sometimes numerous in the 
bays in the winter. Bewick’s Swan is seen almost every winter; many 
flocks are sometimes noticed passing overhead in severe weather. 
All the Wild Geese appear to be rare in Pembrokeshire, with the 
exception of the coast frequenting species, the Brent and the 
Barnacle. And this is a little singular, because enormous flocks 
arrive regularly every autumn and winter in Glamorganshire, and 
some detachments might be expected to continue their flight a little 
farther towards the west. We have been informed that small flocks 
are occasionally seen on the Laugharne marshes just over the 
Pembrokeshire border in Carmarthenshire,—also on the marshes 
near Tenby. On Miss Talbot’s estate of Margam, in Glamorgan- 
shire, over a thousand Greylag Geese make their appearance every 
autumn, and one winter an enormous flock was seen there, chiefly of 
White-fronted Geese, that was computed to number at least 6,000 
birds. The Greylag Goose is almost unknown on the opposite 
coasts of Somerset, and we are without a single record of its
