One in the Margate Museum, said to have been obtained in 
Orkney in the autumn of 1841 (Yarrell, Hist. Brit. Birds, 
vol. iil. p. 379), but the statement since found to be a 
mistake. The Curator of the Museum bought the skin

im a letter, that it had not been obtained in Great Britain 
or even in Europe. 
One, West Mud, near Devonport, winter 1841 : in the collec-

seeing this bird and learning from the owner the above- 
mentioned particulars.

is very doubtful.
