BRITISH BIRDS. 



Our figure is taken from a stuffed specimen 

 lent by Sir Hedworth Williamson, Bart.: it was 

 shot on the Durham coast, in 1816. 



The bill is dusky, and measures from the tip to 

 the brow one inch and an eighth; auriculars tipped 

 with black; tail also tipped with the same, the two 

 outer feathers the longest.
