Below are appended Mr. More's detailed notes. (To facilitate refer- 

 ence, the name of each species is printed, whether followed by a note 

 or otherwise.) 



Golden Eagle. Extinct in England. Pennant, folio ed. of " Brit. 

 Zool.," 1768, says the Eagle has bred in Snowdon rarely. Also in 

 "Brit. Zool.," 1776, p. 162: "This kind of Eagle sometimes 

 migrates into Carnarvonshire, and there are instances, though rare, 

 of their having bred in Snowdon hills." A pair had their eyrie in 

 Martindale in 1788 and 1789 (Rev. W. Richardson in Hutchinson's 

 "Cumberland," i., p. 449). Mention is also here made of "the 

 Borrowdale Eagles " (p. 450), which " Mr. Gray says .... are the 

 Erne," "but one caught in 1793 is unquestionably the GoldenEagle." 

 Rare in Scandinavia. Perhaps Scottish type, as it is not con- 

 fined to mountains on the Continent. 



White-tailed or Sea Eagle. Extinct in England. The eyrie at Bamp- 

 ton is identical with that of Wallow Crag, Hawes Water (Rev. 

 H. A. Macphersou, " Bs. of Cumb." p. 75).
