PUFFIN. 



A young specimen. Probably that referred to by Mr. 

 Booth in his " Bough Notes " as caught off Brighton, 

 July 1st, 1874. 



See " Rough Notes," Vol. III., Plate 25. 



GOLDEN EYE. 



A specimen obtained at Shoreham, Sussex, on January 

 12th, 1883, by the late Mr. Booth. Is in an unusual state 

 of plumage. It was believed by Mr. Booth at the time to 

 have been a specimen of the Icelandic form, but a comparison 

 with skins obtained in Iceland in the summer of 1895 shews 

 that in our specimen the beak is not thick enough at the 

 nostril to belong to that form. It is apparently a very old 

 duck, with a tendency to assume the wider white bars on 

 the wing of the drake. Thanks are due to Mr. Pratt, for 

 ing the loan of the Iceland skins above referred 

 to. (Ed.) 



EIDER DUCK. 



Two immature drakes, shot off Lancing, October 4th, 

 1882. 



See " Rough Notes," Vol. III., Plate 9. 



PIED WAGTAIL (IMMATURE). 



A specimen in the autumn plumage with the canary- 

 coloured head, obtained by Mr. Booth. Another similar 

 specimen shot at Shoreham, Sussex, November 8th, 1873, by 

 Mr. A. F. Griffith, and presented by him. 



Among those acquired since Mr. Booth's death, besides 

 the Red-necked Grebe and the pied Wagtail above referred 

 to, are the following : 



HONEY BUZZAED. 



Shot at Pett Level, Rye, October 20th, 1889. Acquired
