As above mentioned, besides being the author of British 
Ornithology, Hunt supplied the “List of Birds,” already 
referred to, which appears on pp. lix-lxxii of Vol. I, and 
p. 1352 h, of Vol. II, in A / General History | of the County 
of Norfolk, | intended | to convey all the information | of 
a| Norfolk Tour, / (etc. 7 lines) /—/ Vol. I. [II] /—/ 
(Quotation from Drayton, 6 lines.) /— /Norwich : | Printed ® 
by and for John Stacy. | London: | Sold by Longman, Rees, 
Orme, Brown, and Green.| MDCCCXXIX. This list 
enumerates some two hundred and thirty species, and, 
considering the somewhat crude knowledge of certain species” 
at the period when it was compiled, it reflects great credit 
on the discretion and acumen of the writer. Perhaps the } 
most interesting record is that of the “Caspian Tern. . . . 
recently killed near Yarmouth. It is the only specimen 
recorded as having been killed in this kingdom.” * Hunt 
was a correspondent of Messrs. Sheppard & Whitear, the 
compilers of the ‘‘ Catalogue of the Norfolk and Suffolk 
Birds’ in the Transactions of the Linnean Society (1826: 
Vol. XV, part I, pp. 1-62), in which catalogue he is cited 
on pp. 11, 13, 30, 40, 41, 50, and 60. 
Hunt was also the author of a scarce pamphlet of 12 pages, 
measuring 74 by 4% inches. Mr. George A. Stephen, City 
Librarian, Norwich, kindly lent me this pamphlet, the title- 
page of which is as follows :—

* Mr. J. H. Gurney, in his paper “ On the occurrence in England 
of the Caspian Tern ”’ (Zoologist, 1887, p. 457), gives the first occurrence 
of the species in England as 4th October, 1825, at Yarmouth, or 
Breydon Broad; this doubtless refers to the specimen recorded by 
John Hunt.
