LITTLE BUSTARD, Otis tetrax. On the autho- 

 rity of Mr. Jenyns I give the little bustard a place 

 in this Catalogue. Vide ' Manual of British 

 Vertebrate Animals,' p. 176. 



NOTE. The Great Bustard, Otis tar da. Markwick 

 says that the great bustard used to be seen on the South 

 Downs in his time. White of Selborne also observed it 

 there. The latest instance of its having been observed in 

 Sussex appears to be that of a single example, which was 

 occasionally seen about twenty-five years ago near Blateh- 

 ington by Mr. Catt, who then occupied that farm. It used 

 to frequent the flat table-land which runs for a considerable 

 distance in the direction of the Dyke. I have met with 

 some very old people, who, in their younger days, have 

 seen flocks of these noble birds on the Downs.
