evidence that in many cases the Cuckoo must necessarily 

 place her egg in the nest of the fosterers by means of her bill. 

 Mr. ¥. Danby Palmer's account of old-time Yarmouth natu- 

 ralists is worthy of perusal. The Rev. Julian G. Tuck gives 

 an account of a bird said to be Uria bruennichi obtained near 

 Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, in January 1895, and supposed at 

 first to be a young Razorbill ; and an illustration of an un- 

 doubted Briinnich's Guillemot is given, but it is from an 

 Arctic specimen, and is not a portrait of the bird in question. 

 The claim of this species to a place in the British list has been 

 fully established only since December 1894, though there 

 was previously a strong probability that the bird occasionally 

 visited the British coast, because an example had been 

 obtained as far south as Havre.

The first note is explained by the title. The second is 

 on the Scarlet-breasted "Robin''' of Australia {Petrceca 

 leggii), which builds its well-formed nest on a horizontal 

 branch or in a cavity of a tree. Such a nest Mr. North now 

 describes and figures, from a specimen forwarded to the 

 Australian Museum, Sydney, by Mr. Gabriel, from Bays- 

 water, Victoria.
