The Zoologist — July, 1866. 305 



Rednecked Grebe. — Has been met with in winter. 



Sclavonian Grebe. — Is to be met with in winter. 



Eared Grebe. — Rare; has occurred in this countj in June, in full 

 nuptial dress, so was most likely breeding. 



Little Grebe. — Resident; to be met with on the sea in spring. 



Great Northern Diver. — Winter visitor, from beginning of October 

 till April. 



Blackthroated Diver. — Is occasionally to be met with in winter. 

 Birds called blackthroated divers are small individuals of the great 

 northern. The true blackthroated diver is scarcely larger than and very 

 like the redthroaled. I have shot five or six myself; the last, last 

 April. 



Redthroaled Diver. — Winter visitor from beginning of October till 

 middle of May. 



Guillemot. — Is a regular summer visitant. Immense flocks arrive 

 in the Bay from the beginning of April. Some thousands breed with 

 us. It is again very abundant in autumn during the southerly migra- 

 tion. It is to be met with in small numbers from December till the 

 spring flocks arrive again. 



Ringed Guillemot. — Is to be met with in very limited numbers. 



Black Guillemot. — It breeds in some localities, and is to be met with 

 in autumn, winter and spring. 1 consider it a scarce bird. 



Little Auk. — Occasional. 



Puffin. — Regular summer visitor, and breeds on the Islands. Arrives 

 from end of April or early in May, and leaves in September. I have 

 shot the young as late as November. 



Razorbill. — Same remarks as to guillemot, but that it arrives from 

 the middle of March, and does not mix with the guillemot. 



Cormorant. — Resident ; great additions to the flocks in winter. 



Shag. — Same remarks. 



Gannet. — To be met with in autumn and spring in large numbers. 

 Occasional in winter. 



Sivift or RuppelVs Tern. — Has been once obtained in Britain, and 

 thati^n this county, near Sutton. Two others were in company with 

 the one shot. 



Sandwich Tern. — This strangely named bird is to be met with not 

 unfrequently in summer and autumn. It still breeds in one spot on 

 this coast, known I think to few, if any, but myself. 



Roseate Tern. — Is a regular summer visitor, and breeds still in some 

 localities known to me. It used to be commoner than either of the
