spring and autumn. Waring Kidd. At Aldershot, a village 

 near Farnham, the ring ouzels appeared in some abundance on 

 the 8th of September last ; they remained about the neighbour- 

 hood till the 19th, after which none were seen. In a few speci- 

 mens that were shot, the white was much more observable than 

 in those birds which were killed when they passed this place in 

 their spring migration. T. Mansell, Zool. 444. The migration 

 of the ring ouzel in spring and autumn, as mentioned by White, 

 is still observed. James Lewcock. 



This bird comes from its native haunts in the north at the end 

 of September or beginning of October, and returns thither in the 

 spring : it does not stay on either passage more than from ten 

 to fourteen days. 



Common Sandpiper I consider a Passing Visitor : the same 

 remarks as applied to the ring ouzel are applicable to this spe- 

 cies ; in confirmation see in Mr. Bartlett's Ornithology of Kent, 

 Zool. p. 265, Mr. Gurney's Norfolk Birds, Zool. p. 1324, and for 

 additional information on the migratory movements see Zool. 

 pp. 927, 1129 and 1132. I do not think this bird breeds fur- 

 ther south than Yorkshire. I find I have the following entries 

 of its periodical arrival at Thetford, Norfolk : 



Spring migration, May 23, 1834. *May 17, 1836. 

 Autumnal do. Aug. 11, 1834. Aug. 16, 1835.

Green Sandpiper. The green sandpiper is frequently met 

 with near Godalming. W. K. I have every reason to believe 

 the green sandpiper breeds in Surrey, having seen a very young 

 one shot near Godalming, with the primaries incompletely de- 

 veloped. E. Blyth in Mag. Nat. Hist. 2nd Series, i. 605. I 

 saw a flock, consisting of eight individuals, at the Hammer 

 Ponds, on the 16th September, 1845. This bird must properly 

 be considered a Passing Visitor. J. D. Salmon. 



5. Occasional Visitors. 



It seems to me that the foregoing birds, one hundred and 

 twenty in number, are all that can fairly be considered as hav-
