136 Letters, Extracts, Notices, S^c. 



The report on the birds observed at the Danish light- 

 stations in 1892 is compiled after the manner of that of 

 1891 (see Ibis, 1893, p. 150). It is the tenth of the series. 

 Sixty-two species of birds are registered in the list.

 The following letters, addressed to the Editor, have been 

 received : — 



Sir, — It seems probable that a migration to Western 

 Enrope of the Nutcrackers [Nucifraga caryocatactes^ is 

 about to take place this season. One of these birds was 

 obtained in this district about two miles from my house on 

 the 21st of October last. 



I am. Sir, 



Yours &c., 



F. E. Blaauw. 



's Graveland, Hilversum, Holland, 

 November 16th, 1893. 



Sir, — In the resume of my account of the taking of the 

 Snow-Bunting's nest in BaQffshire, which was published in 

 the June number of the ' Bulletin of the British Ornitholo- 

 gists' Club,' no. X. p. Iv (1893), the names of Mr. L. 

 Hinxman and Mr. W. Eagle Clarke were omitted. It 

 will, no doubt, be remembered by those who were present 

 at the June meeting of the Club that I particularly men- 

 tioned the names of both these gentlemen, acknowledging 

 the help that I had received from them, and also de- 

 scribing their part in the finding of the nest. As I did 

 not see the above-mentioned number of the ' Bulletin ' in 

 proof, I am not responsible for the omission of their names, 

 which I regret, and the Editor has since explained that this 

 omission was purely accidental (see B. O. C. ii. no. xi. p. iii, 

 1893). But I cannot see why this mistake should have 

 called forth the plaintive letter from Mr. J. A. Harvie-Brown 

 (see Ibis, 1893, p. 593). To the account which I have given 

 of the expedition to the members of the British Ornitho- 

 logists' Club I have nothing to add, nor have I to correct
