Listorland, in the south of Norway, not far from the Naze, 

 on May 12th. Five specimens were shot. In my specimens 

 the testes and ovary were well developed, the eggs being 

 of about the size of those of a Regulus.

Sirs, — I have just been spending a few days in Jersey, 

 where the birdstuffcr at St. Heliers (Mr. Thomas Caplin) 

 showed me a fine pair (male and female) of Syrrhaptes

weighed 8 oz.
