THE present, in this country, as a rather rare and at the 

 same time very neatly marked species, is always desirable as 

 an acquisition to a collection. 



In Europe it is plentiful in Holland and Germany, and 

 is seen in Sweden, Russia, Kamtschatka, France, Spain, and 

 Italy. In Asia likewise, in Siberia, the Dukkun in India, 

 Persia, Arabia, China, and in the neighbourhood of the Caucasus; 

 also in Africa, in Tunis. 



In Yorkshire the Garganey has more or less frequently 

 occurred near Doncaster, York, Barnsley, Halifax, and other 

 places. Mr. Dunn, of Hull, obtained two in the year 1840. 

 Several specimens have been shot in the vicinity of Swinhope, 

 Lincolnshire, as the Eev. E. P. Alington has informed me. In 

 Cornwall two were procured near Falmouth, one of them at 

 Swanpool, in March, 1846. In Oxfordshire they occur some- 

 times, though rarely, in the neighbourhood of Weston-on-the- 

 Green, and other parts. In August, 1830, three birds of this 

 species, all young, alighted on some water near Otmoor, and 

 were shot by a farmer. In Norfolk the Garganey is not 

 uncommon in the neighbourhood of Yarmouth, and occasionally 

 breeds about there; it also is known in different places in 

 the county. It has occurred in Surrey, at Godalming. Like- 

 wise in Cambridgeshire. In Cornwall, Kent, Pevon, and Essex, 

 it is said to be rare.
