12 Messrs. Sheppard aîid Whiteau's Catalogue 



Genus VI. Oriolus. 

 1. O. Galbula (Golden Oriole). 



The late John Sheppard, Esq., of Campsey Ash, shot a female 

 bu-d of this species at that place. Three others (two males and 

 a female) were killed a few years since at Saxmundham. And 

 we have been informed that a pair of these birds built a nest in 

 the garden of the Rev. Mr. Lucas, of Ormsby in Norfolk. One 

 of those mentioned above was killed in the spring. 



Genus VII. Sturnus. 



1. S. vulgaris (Stnrlmg). 



The Starling was formerly seen in Suffolk in much greater 

 flocks than at present, it being now a rare thing to see more than 

 two hundred together ; whereas formerly many thousands might 

 be found congregated in the same flock. Very large flocks of 

 Starlings are still sometimes seen in the marshes of Norfolk. 



Genus VIII. Pastor. 



1. P. 7'oseus (Tvose-coloured Thrush). 



This species has been four times noticed in Suffolk in the 

 course of a few years. One was shot upon a cherry-tree at 

 Chelmondiston, and being only winged, was fed with raw meat, 

 and kept alive three months ; another was also feeding upon 

 cherries at the time it was killed at Polstead in the summer of 

 1818; a third was met with at Winston near Debenham ; and 

 a fourth, which was a beautiful specimen, was shot at Beccles 

 towards the latter end of the summer. About the same time one 

 was killed in the neighbourhood of Yarmouth.
