[§ 4270. Zwo.—Rugely, Staffordshire, 1853. From Mr. R. 
W. Hawkins. 
From different nests. | 
[§ 4271. Zwo.—lIreland. From Dr. Frere, 1861. 
Sent to Dr. Frere from the south of Ireland by “a Mr. Davis ’—most likely 
the well-known Dr. Davis, of Clonmel. | 
[§ 4272. Zwo.—Norway. From Mr. Baker, 1866. 
These were brought by Mr. Baker: one is marked in pencil ‘“ Hoff 4. 
6/6/62”; the other, apparently in the same handwriting, “ Huberg 4. 4/7/62.”] 
[§ 4273. One.—Culford, Suffolk, 1867. From Mr. E. R. 
Benyon. 
Given to my brother Edward in the autumn of 1867, with the nest found in 
the South Wood at Culford the preceding spring. Mr. Benyon had a bit of 
ground round the nest enclosed by wire netting, thinking to catch the young, 
which he wanted to have stuffed, but they fortunately escaped. This egg was, 
I believe, rotten and left in the nest. It was unblown and the contents dried 
up when given to my brother. Going to Culford in April 1868 they told me 
they believed there were no Woodcocks breeding there that year. I had heard 
of them doing so several years before. ] 
[§ 4274. One.—France? From the late Mr. Scales’s collection, 
18585. 
Evidently a very old specimen, which has been varnished at some time. 
The old inscription “ Bécasse” indicates a French origin, and it was perhaps 
obtained from Dufresne when Mr. Scales was in Paris in 1816 or 1817. |

[§ 4275. One.— New Forest, 1855 From Me Seale 
? e 893. 
{§ 4276. Zwo.—Attleborough, Norfolk. i 
From the ruins of Mr, Sealy’s collection, The first he said he had from 
Mr. W. Farren, but could not recollect the name of the man through whom he 
got the other two, but, as the inscription upon them shews, they were certainly 
taken at or near Attleborough. |
