254 CATALOGUE OF THE BIRDS OF SUFFOLK, 



Wigeon. — Supposed to breed in Ramsholt marshes ; early in June 

 ] 882 two old birds and six quite young ones were about for some time 

 (G. P. Hope in Utt). 



Scoter.— 8. Shot at Euston by Mr. B. W. Cooper who has it, 

 C. B. ! Another preserved at Euston Hall, C. B. ! 



Guillemot.— *8. One shot at or near Euston ; preserved at the 

 Hall, C. B. ! 



Lesser Tern. — *4. One recently killed in Ipswich Marshes (in my 

 Collection, 0. B.). 



Iceland Gull. — 1. A specimen shot at Yarmouth some years ago, 

 identified by Mr. Howard Saunders ; formerly in possession of Mr. 

 W. M. Crowfoot ; he gave it to Mr. G. Smith, of Yarmouth, who now 

 has it (W. M. Crowfoot in Utt.). The asterisk placed against the bird 

 in the body of this Catalogue may now be removed. 



Fulmar.— *3. One shot at Bawdsey, Feb. 1880, by Mr. Hope (G- 

 P. Hope in Utt). 



Gyr-Falcon. — *7. An immature bird, considered by Mr. Newby 

 to be of this species, killed on Thetford Warren, in spring, 1883; it 

 appeared to me to be very similar to Mr. Hunt's bird, mentioned above. 

 Dr. Gadow, Strickland Curator at Cambridge, to whom I shewed the 

 specimen, pronounced it to be a young Gyr-Falcon. Prof. N ewton says 

 of it, " It looks very much like an example of the immature male of F. 

 Gyr-fatco, but it is just one of those specimens of which one (I at least) 

 cannot feel quite sure. If the sternum had been preserved all doubt 

 would probably have been removed " (See Newton's Yarrell, i., 47). It 

 is now in my Collection. If my bird be not a Gyr-Falcon, it is a specimen 

 of the Iceland Falcon, Falco Islandus, which is not known to have 

 been found in Suffolk. 



Barbary Partridge. — Mr. Jefferies tells me that the Maharajah has 

 introduced many at Elveden : cross birds between this and the Redlegged 

 Partridge are preserved at the Hall (C. B. !). Mr. Norgate believes 

 that it breeds near Downham. 



Virginian Colin. — Major Barnardiston turned some down at Staverton, 

 which bred but afterwards died ; he gave others to Sir C. Rowley, who 

 let them loose at Tendring. Mr. A. Baldwin, at my suggestion, released 

 a few at Great Barton. The bird breeds near Downham, as Mr. Norgate 

 informs me. Neither this nor the preceding can well be said to be 

 naturalized at present. 



White-billed Diver. — 3. One taken on the Orwell Dec. 1883 (in 

 my Collection, purchased from Podd). There can I think be no doubt, 

 though the upper mandible is deformed, that the bird belongs to this
