birds, and its home is in Siberia, extending to North 
Russia in the summer and China in the winter. This 
specimen was caught near Brighton, October 28rd, 
1867, and is figured in Gould’s “ Birds of Great 
Britain.” It was acquired with the Monk Collection, 
It was the first obtained in Britain, and it was 
not until 14 years afterwards (in September, 1881) 
that a second specimen was obtained, this time at 
Easington, on the Yorkshire coast, by the school- 
master there.

LITTLE BUNTING. 
Case 333. 
This Bunting, like the last, nests in Siberia. 
Though its winter quarters are chiefly in China and 
India, yet a few are found in the Mediterranean 
countries on migration. In Great Britain, however, 
it is excessively rare, our bird being the only 
specimen known to have occurred, prior to 1901 at 
any rate. It was taken in bird nets near the old 
naptha works, close to the site of the present 
Roedean School, near Brighton, Nov. 2nd, 1864, 
and identified by the late Mr. Gould. Mr. Monk 
acquired it for his collection, with which it was 
purchased for this Museum.

LESSER GREY SHRIKE. 
Case 334. 
This, one of the rarest of our British birds, was 
shot at Bosham, near Chichester, Oct. 14th, 1905, 
and was stuffed by Mr. George, the bird stuffer in 
West Street, Chichester. It is an immature bird, 
and when it was shot it was seen flitting trom bush 
to bush, following down the course of a stream. 
It was bought and presented, with the case, by 
Mr. A. F. Griffith.
