THK BIRDS OF SUFFOLK. 



Natural History of Yarmouth and its Neighbourhood, printed 

 at Yarmouth, in 1834, (8vo). This valuable catalogue 

 has been largely supplemented and brought down to 

 the present date by help of Stevenson's Birds of Norfolk 

 (vol. i., 1866, vol. ii., 1870, the third and last being 

 yet to come), as well as by notices of Norfolk birds in the 

 Zoologist by various writers referred to in the following 

 pages under each bird. I have also used M8. letters by Col. 

 Leathes to Dr. Crowfoot relating principally to birds in this 

 part of Suffolk, in the possession of the Rev. H. Hawkins. 

 Besides these I have included under this district a great 

 deal of valuable information most kindly supplied by 

 two distinguished Norfolk ornithologists, Mr. J. 1J. Gurney, 

 jun., and Mr. Stevenson, who have also in many cases shewn 

 me the specimens in their Collections, many obtained from 

 Breydon Water. 



(2.) "We have for this district Notes or Jottings about Aide- 

 lurgh, Suffolk, relating to matters Historical, Antiquarian, 

 Ornithological, and Entomological, by Nicholas Fen wick 

 Hele, Surgeon, printed in London (J. E.Smith, 8vo.,1870.) 

 The bird-list extends from p. 68 to p. 179, forming the greater 

 part of the book, This very ample list has been materially 

 augmented by the courtesy of Mr. Hele, who has 

 unreservedly communicated to me a large number of 

 additional observations made since the book was published. 

 Many notes on the birds of Aldeburgh have likewise been 

 sent from time to time to the Zoologist, by the Rev. Julian 

 Tuck, formerly of Tostock, and he has communicated 

 others directly to me. The Eev. Herbert James, Eector of 

 Livermere, has also given me a valuable checked list of 

 Aldeburgh birds seen or obtained by Capt. James. Various 

 Aldeburgh localities are also supplied by Mr. Kerry, of 

 Harwich. 



I have likewise a checked catalogue of birds observed at 

 Westleton, kindly made at my request by Mr. F. Spalding, 

 to whom I am indebted for a great amount of information 

 relative to birds in other parts of the county, many of which 

 were stuffed by his father, an excellent naturalist and an
