bewildered state. It was captured iu an open umbrella 

 used as a fishing net. 



Another was taken in a regular fishing net, in September, 



1868. 



Colymbus septentrionalis. 



Bed-throated Diver. 



An immature specimen of this bird was picked up in an 

 exhausted state by Mr. Willis, of Whitefield Farm, 

 Ogbourne St. George, in January, 1866. 



Another is said to have been obtained at the same place 

 ten years before. 



Mergulus melanoleucos. 



Little Aid: 



It is with great pleasure that I record an occurrence of 

 this bird on the Kennet, just opposite the " AilesburyArms " 

 on the Bath road, in 1864. The bird is now in the 

 possession of Mrs. Gun dry, of Netly Grange, Southampton, 



It is very remarkable that a bird with such small wings 

 should have come so far inland, but it is certainly true. 

 This instance I have already recorded in the Field.
