the " Zoologist " for 1859 (p. 6378), as pointed out in my note 

 in " Ann. S.N.H.," 1896, p. 254 (W. Evans, m lilt.). 



Turtle-Dove (Vol. II., p. 126). — Yorkshire. — ^Nests 

 annually, and is by no means rare in the Scarborough district. 

 Also found at Wetherby, and nests regularly near Harrogate 

 and Driffield (W. Gyngell, Nat., 1908, p. 464). 



Black Grouse (Vol. II., p. 127). — Two hybrids, apparently 

 between Black and Red Grouse, were shot by Mr. A. Foster, 

 of Bettws-y-coed, one on December 9th, 1895, and the other 

 on November 20th, 1897, on Yspytty Moor, Carnarvon (H. 



E. Forrest, Vert. Faun. N. Wales, p. 307). Ireland. — Note the 

 correction, Vol. IT., p. 167. 



Ptarmigan (Vol. II., p. 128). — Note the correction Vol. II., 

 p. 167. 



Spotted Crake (Vol. II., p. 129). — Ireland. — In addition 

 to those mentioned Mr. R. J. Ussher provides us with par- 

 ticulars of the following examples : — One, Castlerea, co. 

 Roscommon, October 20th, 1900 ; two. King's co., October 

 7th, 1904 ; one, co. Fermanagh, October 13th, 1904 ; one, 

 Balbriggan, co. Dublin, November 26th, 1906 ; one, Drogheda, 

 CO. Louth, December 4th, 1906 {fide Williams and Sons) ; one, 

 CO. Dublin, October 6th, 1902 {jflde R. M. Barrington) ; one, 

 Buttevant, co. Cork, January 4th, 1904 (Rohu and Son, /. Nat., 

 1904, p. 98). 



[Crane (Vol. II., p. 147). — Two were shot on December Ist^ 

 1903, at Knowle, Warwickshire, and were exhibited at a 

 meeting of the Birmingham Nat. Hist, and Phil. Society 

 (A. H. Duncalfe, in litt.). These seem likely to have been 

 escaped birds.] 



Turnstone (S. p. 557). — Has now been definitely recorded 

 for Derbyshire (F. C. R. Jourdain, Zool., 1909, p. Ill) and 

 also Staffordshire (J. R. B. Masefield, R. and Tr. N. Staffs. 



F. Club, 1909). Ireland. — Found regularly throughout the 

 year along the Dublin coast. A female with ripe ova was 

 obtained on July 18th, 1900, but was without a mate (C. J. 

 Patten, Nat., 1909, p. 51). 



AvocET (Vol. II., p. 228). — The east Sussex coast should 

 have been included after Kent, as it forms a continuous 

 coastline, but the records seem to be few. Mr. H. G.. 

 Alexander reminds us that one was seen on several days in 

 March, 1906, by his brother and himself (c/. Zool., 1906, p. 

 152). 



Grey Phalarope (Vol. II., p. 229). — Five are recorded 

 from the Isle of Man (P. G. Ralfe, Birds I. of M., p. 213)..
