Seaman. In 1829, one is stated to have been shot at 
Hockering (Stacey’s “ Hist. of Norf.,” vol. ii., p. 1352). 
The Norwich Museum contains one shot in 1825 near 
iseceles.: The. late Mr. J. J. Gurney had one, killed 
near Yarmouth, which very likely is the same mentioned 
by Lubbock.t These, with a pair in Mr. Stevenson’s 
collection, make eight Norfolk specimens actually 
obtained. 
KINGFISHER.—Generally distributed, receiving migratory 
additions in September, in which month I have known 
twenty-three brought to a birdstuffer in a fortmight. 
More than one has killed itself against a floating light 
off our coast in September. 
Rinc Dove or Woop Picreon.—A common resident, very 
subject to partial migrations near the coast. 
Stock Dove.—Fairly common, but somewhat local. A 
nesting-place often chosen is a rabbit’s hole, and Mr. 
Frank Norgate tells me he has found the eggs, which 
in all the pigeon tribe are two in number, deposited as 
far as seven feet from the entrance. 
TurTLE Dove.—The turtle dove, as a summer migrant, is 
becoming more and more common every year. It is 
fond of young plantations, and makes little attempt to 
conceal its flimsy nest, which is often within reach, 
though I have seen it as high as forty feet from the 
ground, and as low as three feet. 
Barn Ow.t.—I occasionally see barn owls in the autumn 
at Cromer, and that they come to us from the Con- 
tinent, at that season, I have not the slightest doubt. 
The following are the dates (months) of sixteen ob- 
served at various times, in one parish about a mile 
from the sea, the years being omitted :—
