 downs. On being disturbed they fly away uttering their 

 peculiarly shrill whistle. In the autumn of 1867 a flock of 

 seven of these birds was observed for several weeks on the 

 Rockley downs, one of which was shot and sent to me on 

 the 3rd of September, On seeing this bird, which I then 

 imagined to be the first killed in this neighbourhood, i 

 hastened out to Rockley, where I saw the flock on the pond 

 in the village itself. 



I afterwards met with a pair of these birds on one of the 

 small ponds in the Forest. Since that time I have had 

 notices of their occurrence, and specimens have been shown 

 me procured in the years 1863-7 inclusive.
