 Early in the month of December, 1842, an example of this

 C. Dale, Esq. of Glanville Wootton, recorded in the Natu- 

 ralist, vol. ii. p, 275, a notice of one example shot in Dorset- 

 shire in 1836, and the specimen preserved in the museum of 

 Mr. R. A. Cox ; and in October 1841 J. H. Gurney, Esq., 

 of Norwich, sent me word that he had just obtained a speci- 

 men for his own collection which had but a very few days 

 before been picked up dead near Yarmouth.

 descriptive particulars are given on a single leaf, to be in- 

 serted as paged.

 tinent, has since been obtained in Northumberland, by Mr. 

 John Hancock, of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. A figure and par- 

 ticulars are given.
