General Notes. 



line 20, for '-Wexford" read -'Mayo." Also, in connection with my remarks 

 on Wilson's Petrel at page 218, line 29. Mr. Saunders has called mv atten- 

 tion to the occurrence, as recorded by him (Bull. Soc. zool. de France. 

 1S77. p. 205, and Zool. Record. 1S77. Aves, p. 58). of a fine specimen of 

 this specie- at Malaga. Spain, killed there on 7 August. 1873. and still in 

 his possession. 



Professor Reinhardt. of Copenhagen, has sent me a paper by him in 

 4i Meddelelser fra den Naturhistorische Forening i Kjobenhavn, 1SS1." on 

 the alleged occurrence as recorded by me at page 72. Vol. V of the Bulletin, 

 of four specimens of the American White-winged Crossbill in Denmark 

 (Nos. 1 to 4 of mv List), in which he points out that mv correspondent, 

 Ilerr A. Benzon, had been in error in communicating them to me and 

 that he appears to have confused them with L. bifasciata, the Russian and 

 Siberian species, to which they doubtless belonged. He also states a 

 doubt that exists whether the record of Xo. 2 does not rest on a confusion 

 with No. 1 ; that Nos. 1 and 3 are still in the University Museum. Copen- 

 hagen, but that No. 4 seems to have been lost many years ago. All four 

 are thus to be deleted. 



Addenda. — To the record of Actiturus bartramius, p. 149. add : 



Great Britain. 7. One. a male, killed in Lincolnshire, purchased in 

 Leadenhall market, and obtained in the Mesh by Mr. J. E. Harting, who 

 carefully enquired into and is satisfied of its authenticity as a British- 

 killed specimen. Harting, Zool.. 1S80, p. 50S. October. 1880. 



To the record of Numenius borealte (p. 210) add: 



Great Britain. 6. One. a male, Forest of Birse. Kincardineshire. Har- 

 vie-Brown. Zool.. 1S80, p. 4S5. 21 Sep., 1880. 



I would desire, in conclusion, to point out that by removal from the 

 list of the Cedar Bird (footnote, p. 141) and of the American Swan, (as to 

 which latter McGillivray's probable mistake, p. 212. was onby pointed out 

 to me by Professor Newton after the first part of the paper had appeared 

 in the Bulletin.) the number of species of North American Birds now 

 recorded as having visited Europe is reduced from sixty-nine, as mentioned 

 in the introduction (Bull., V, p. 66), to sixty-seven. 



I would only add that I shall still be glad to receive any further correc- 

 tions or additions which may add to the accuracy and consequent value of 

 the List. — J.J. Dalgleish, 8 Athole Crescent. Edinburgh. Scotland.
