it at a meeting of the British Ornithologists' Club, held 

 June 17th, 1903 (Bull. B.O.C., vol. xiii, pp. 77, 78 ; N. F. 

 Ticehurst, ' Zoologist,' 1903, p. 420). It would appear that 

 this is the first record of the occurrence of the bird in Kent. 



TURNSTONE. Strepsilas interprets (Linnaeus). 



In the ' Irish Naturalist,' 1902, p. 221, Mr. R. Patterson 

 states that on May 24th, 1902, he observed a small flock 

 of Turnstones on Ram's Island, Lough Neagh ; five of the 

 birds were in full nuptial plumage. Again in the * Irish 

 Naturalist,' 1905, p. 165, Mr. E. L. L. M'Clintock mentions 

 that on May 18th, 1905, he observed two of these birds 

 in the same locality. It is unusual to find this species 

 away from the coast, though in some districts it is known 

 to resort inland for breeding purposes. 



GREAT SNIPE. Gallinago major (J. F. Gmelin). 



A Great Snipe was obtained in Shetland on September 

 26th, 1901, by Mr. J. Grierson, and was sent to Mr. Harvie- 

 Brown (J. A. Harvie-Brown, Ann. Scot. Nat. Hist., 1902, 

 p. 54) ; two others were shot on the Island of Stronsay, 

 Orkney, on Septembr 25th, 1901 (R. B. Bell, ibid.} ; a third 

 was obtained in Orkney on September 12th, 1905, by Mr. 

 R. B. Bell (ibid., 1906, p. 54). 



SABINE'S SNIPE. Gallinago ccelestis, var., sabini (Frenzel). 



An example of Sabine's Snipe was obtained on an island 

 off Mull, on November 26th, 1903 (W. A. Churchman, 

 ' Field,' December 5th, 1903, p. 962). 



BROAD-BILLED SANDPIPER. Limicola platyrhyncha 

 (Temminck). 



An immature female example of this species was shot at 

 Rye, Sussex, on August 29th, 1904, and was sent to Mr. 

 Bristow, of St. Leonards. Its capture was reported by 

 Mr. Nicoll at a meeting of the British Ornithologists' 

 Club, held October 19th, 1904 (Bull. B.O.C., vol. xv, p. 12). 



KNOT Tringa canutus (Linnaeus). 



At a meeting of the British Ornithologists' Club, held 

 June 28th, 1905, Dr. Bianchi exhibited twelve authentic eggs 

 of the Knot with nestlings, procured on the Taimyr Penin-
