ADDENDUM. 



PAGE 162. It would appear that the eggs of the House Martin [CJuKdon 

 ^^rbica) are very exceptionally spotted. I note a recent instance 

 recorded in the Field. Without wishing to cast doubt on the bona 

 fides, I may remark that no such abnormal variety has ever come under 

 my own observation.
