LAPLAND BUNTING 

 Case E. 



This rare visitor has been obtained most often in Norfolk 

 and Sussex. The severe, winter of 1890-1 brought them over 

 in considerable numbers to the former county, when several 

 were observed also in Sussex. Two of the specimens in the 

 case (the front specimen in the middle of the case and the 

 back specimen to the left) were caught November 5th, 1890, on 

 the Downs near Brighton. The male and female in summer 

 plumage were obtained alive near Yarmouth (Norfolk) the 

 same autumn, and kept in an aviary till the following spring. 

 The other three specimens were shot at Cley-by-the-Sea 

 (Norfolk) during the same winter. 



ICELAND GULL. 

 Case.F. 



This immature specimen was shot beyond Bottingdean 

 toward the end of the winter of 1889-90 by a boy at Brighton 

 College. It is an Arctic species, seldom wandering so far 

 south even in the immature state. Mature birds have very 

 rarely been observed even in the extreme north of Britain. 



The samphire and wild stock in the case were brought 

 from the cliffs near Rottingdean. 



GAEGANEY. (NESTLINGS). 

 Case G. 



The young birds in this case were obtained by Mr. 

 Booth at Potter Heigham June 16th, 1883. He states, that 

 the mother duck was "with them, appearing perfectly regard- 

 less of danger on her own account, and seldom attempting to 

 rise on wing until approached within four or five paces. 

 .When caught they were beside a high road at least a mile 

 from any marsh which would seem suitable for the nest.
