Vols. I. and II. of our Magazine. The most important 

 appear to be as follows : — 



Great Reed- Warbler (Acrocephalus turdoides). An adult 

 male, shot by George Bristow in a brickpit at St. Leonards 

 on September 12th, 1906. 



Ortolan Bunting (Emberiza hortulana). A female at Castle 

 Hill, near Rottingdean, Sussex, on April 21st, 1896 ; and 

 a male near Eastbourne, on June 29th, 1898. Recorded 

 as obtained in 1896 in third edition (1901), and as 1898 

 in the supplement (1909). 



Bee-Eater (Merops apiaster). An adult male, shot at 

 Burwash, Sussex, on June 5th, 1905. This is said to 

 have been one of three seen together. Another is re- 

 corded as having been shot at Dallington on May 31st 

 (cf. antea, vol. 1, p. 282) ; and another as having been seen 

 at Brightling about the same time. 



Central European Barn-Owl (Strix flammea flammea). 

 Three specimens of this form with the dark brown under- 

 pays are recorded, viz. : — One caught in a barn at 

 Shoreham, Sussex, on October 24th, 1893. A second 

 killed at Rottingdean in November, 1900 ; and the third 

 obtained at Shoreham in September, 1901. It will be 

 noticed that these were all obtained on the south coast 

 in autumn. 



Goshawk (Astur palumbarius). An immature female, shot by 

 G. Sargent at Hooe, Sussex, on November 19th, 1904. 



Red-footed Falcon (Fcdco vespertinus). An immature male, 



shot at Hooe, Sussex, by George Sargent, on April 15th, 



1899.

 until recently when it was identified by the late Howard 

 Saunders.
