FEBRUARY. 33 



28th. February, 1900, has been a month of snow and sunshine, rain 

 and sleet, and gales, and it is some years since February Fill-dyke has 

 been so worthy of its name. It is -0 years since we have experienced 

 such floods in England. 



I hear to-day that four Little Auks were captured at Scarborough 

 -during the recent severe weather. I had one brought to me alive in 

 January, 1894. It was taken in Bedfordshire.
