38 Alexander Goodman More. [1353 



" Zoologist," the first record of " Bartramia longicauda " 

 (Bartram's Sandpiper) as a "British Bird." 



He was beginning to be a somewhat frequent contri- 

 butor of short notes. Before leaving the Isle of Wight he 

 had sent to the " Zoologist," (i), a Table showing dates of 

 arrival of the summer migrants, as observed at Bembridge 

 during the previous four years ; (2), a note upon the Sero- 

 tine Bat (often confused with the Noctule) which he had 

 observed to be common at Bembridge, and indeed the only 

 large Bat he could find there ; and (3), the correction of his 

 early error about the Fire-crested Wren, which has already 

 been quoted. To the "Phytologist" he had forwarded a short 

 note on the discovery of Filago spathulata. These, with 

 the two on the Black Redstart, another on a Puffin picked 

 up in winter, and that on the plants flowering in January, 

 complete the list of his printed communications bearing 

 date 1853.
