FOR the particulars of the occurrence of this addition to 

 the ornithology of the British Islands, I am indebted to the 

 kindness of Mr. Kobert Davis, Junior, who sent me also a 

 coloured drawing made from the bird now preserved in the 

 Museum of the University of Dublin, from which the repre- 

 sentation here given was copied. " This specimen," observes
