220 BIRDS OF GUERNSEY. 



fore, though I think it by no means unlikely that 

 both birds occasionally occur, thought it better to 

 omit their names from my list. 



Professor Ansted has only mentioned one of the 

 family the Great Skua, Stercorarius catarrhactes, 

 in his list, which also may occasionally occur, as 

 may Buffon's Skua, Stercorarius parasitic us ; but 

 neither of these seem to me so likely to occur as 

 the two first-mentioned, not being by any means so 

 common on the English side of the Channel. 



In bringing my labours to a conclusion I must 

 again thank Mr. MacCulloch and others, who have 

 assisted me in my work either by notes or by helping 

 in out -door work.
