18 FALCONID 
143. Circus crnERACEUS (Mont.). Montagu’s Harrier. 
Mr. Boulton, of Beverley, had two immature females in his collection, 
shot in Holderness. One, an adult female, was shot in 1896 late in the 
autumn at Flamborough, in very rough weather and snow, by a fisher- 
man, and subsequently set up by Mr. Bailey [‘ Nat.,’ 1897, p. 237|. The 
last Yorkshire nest was taken in 1871, near Bridlington. 
144. Burro vuuearis, Leach. Buzzard. 
Formerly very common and nesting ; at the present time occurs as an 
irregular spring and autumn migrant, and in some years is fairly common 
in September and October. I have notes of its nesting in Lincolnshire in 
1881 and 1884, and another more recent. 
145. Burro Ltacorus (Gmel.). Rough-legged Buzzard. 
An autumn immigrant, and in some seasons, as 1875-6, and in 1881, 
in October, numerous along the east coast of Great Britain. The 
autumn birds obtained are almost invariably immature. It is of more 
frequent occurrence than the preceding. Formerly bred annually in 
heather in the dells at Hackness, Scarborough. 
146. AQuILA cHRYSAETUS (Linn.). Golden Eagle. 
One in the Scarborough Museum was shot July 24th, 1844, near 
Hunmanby. In December, 1861, an immature female at Skerne, near 
Driffield [‘ Zool,’ 1862, p. 7880]. November 1st, 1881, one shot Nor- 
manby Park, N.W. Lincolnshire, now at West Halton, near Doncaster, 
I have a note of another, said to have been trapped at Appleby, in the 
same district, in 1834. 
147. Haurakrus aupicruna (Linn.). White-tatled Kagle. 
Since 1876 to this date I have notes of eleven, and three of these were 
adults. The occurrences were all in the autumn or winter, except one on 
May 2nd, 1892 [‘ Nat.,’ 1892, p. 217]. Not unfrequently observed near 
Flamborough. 
148. AsTuR PALUMBARIUS (Linn.). Goshawk. 
Of rare occurrence in autumn and spring on migration. In the spring 
of 1864 a pair attempted to nest in a larch plantation on Sir Robert 
Sheffield’s property, Normanby Park. The female was shot, and the 
male subsequently left the district. The bird was set up by Leadbeater 
and remains at Normanby. On May 28rd, 1871, an immature female, 
which I got, was shot at Tathwell, near Louth. The latest occurrence, 
1896, on September 27th, a pair on migration at Easington. 
149. AccrPITER Nisus (Linn.). Sparrow-Hawk, 
Generally distributed and nesting, very considerable number in the 
coast districts in October on migration. 
150. Minvus tIctinus, Savigny. Kvte. 
Formerly very common as a resident, but now extinct, occurs occa- 
sionally on migration near the coast. The last eggs were taken in 
Bullington Wood, near Wragby, in 1870. 
151. Pernis aprvorus (Linn.). Honey Buzzard. 
Occasionally on migration in the autumn, in September; four occur- 
rences in September, 1896. On June 21st, 1892, a female was shot at 
Enholmes Hall, Patrington.
