specimen in the ‘‘London Museum” (l.c., il., p. 333). 
Two more were shot at Yarmouth, in 1826,and a male 
in change (now in my father’s collection) was shot at 
Surlingham, in December, 1827, by a Mr. Deen. In 
January, 1844, a male was shot at Horsey, and in 
December, 1867, a female at Hickling. A male, killed 
many years ago at Yarmouth, is in the possession of 
Mr. William Borrer. 
FERRUGINOUS OR WHITE-EYED DucK—lIs something more 
than an accidental straggler, having occurred a good 
many times. One of the best I have seen was shot at 
Salthouse. 
TurrepD Duck.—-Not uncommon as a winter visitant, this 
species of duck, long suspected to have bred in Nor- 
folk, was not proved to do so, until the discovery by 
Lord Walsingham of a nest and eggs at Stanford, in 
1867. That it now does so abundantly, in certain 
localities, is evident from the fact that a party of 
naturalists, of whom I was one, were able to count, 
on one day in June, 1882, at least three young broods 
on one mere in West Norfolk, and two broods on 
another. 
Scaup.—Not infrequent, but more of a sea duck than those 
hitherto named, though I have seen it on Ranworth 
“Broad,” and known it killed on the river at Horstead. 
In the winter of 1829-30, there appears to have been 
a mortality of scaups ; according to an old noteseventy 
were caught at Cromer.! 
ScoTER.—Though generally considered a winter bird, its 
occurrence in summer has been repeatedly noted by 
Mr. Stevenson. Its spring passage north is much 
prolonged, while its return journey sometimes com- 
mences in July. 
1 A similar occurrence is recorded to have taken place on the coast of 
Durham in 1788, by Sir Cuthbert Sharp, the historian of Hartlepool.
