IN DORSET DURING 1914. 



By W. PARKINSON CURTIS, F.E.S. 



N the year 1913 report (Vol. XXXV.) there crept m 

 an error for which I must accept responsibility. 

 I thought that the first column of the previous 

 table to the report meant " Earliest previous 

 record," but it really represents the earliest 

 record for 1912, so that the comparison between 

 the dates is only a comparison between 1912 

 and 1913. I have, however, this year been 

 through the previous records appearing in our Proceedings, 

 and the first column now represents the earliest date 

 previously recorded in our volumes. 



There is one other error requiring correction on p. 195. 

 I have inadvertently transferred Captain Farquharson, R.N., 

 to the sister service. Mr. Richardson's records were intended 

 for Phylloscopus minor and not P. trochilus, but got misplaced 

 in transcribing my MSS. 



In some instances a usual immigrant has wintered or 

 summered in the country ; where there is no doubt I have 

 inserted " has been known to winter." 



The names (arranged alphabetically) of those who have 

 sent returns are as follows ; the initials prefixed in brackets 

 to the names designate the responsibility for the record in 

 the notes hereafter.
