FULICA ATRA, Linneus. 
THE COOT. 
§ 3156. Zhree—Clifton, Nottinghamshire. Not later than 
1843. 
From Cutts [gamekeeper at Clifton], who gave them to my 
brother. In ponds where they are not disturbed they increase 
rapidly and become very tame. Near Eton at Salt-Hull, Two-mile- 
brook, and Ditton park they are in abundance. 
§ 3157. Three.-—Whittlesey Mere. From ‘Tom Rawlinson, 
about 1845. 
§ 3158. One. 
[There is no note of this egg, except that it has a label marked “ Coot,” 
apparently in Mr. Wolley’s writing. It is of normal coloration, but measures 
only 1:7 by 1:27 inch, and has doubtless been kept on account of its small 
SIZE, |
