Common Crossbill. — On the 28th a small flock were seen at North- 

 repps, near Cromer. 



Pratincole. — A specimen of this very rare visitant, in Mr. Nevvcome's 

 collection, was shot at Feltvvells during the first week in June. The 

 sex was unfortunately not noticed by the birdstuffer. 



July. 

 Crossbill. — A considerable flock were observed, on the lllh, near 

 the same spot, at Northrepps, where others had been seen in June, 

 and in both instances the birds were pursuing a direct course inland. 

 On the 6th two females and one male were killed, and others seen, at 

 Kirby-cave, near Bungay.

Rosecoloured Pastor. — The occurrence of an adult female near 

 Yarmouth, on the 11th of this month, is recorded in the 'Zoologist' 

 (S. S. l'377). 



Common Dotterel. — About the 30th of August two males and one 

 female were shot at Beeston, near Cromer. 



September. 



Great Snipe. — One shot, on the 1st, at Limpenhoe ; but although so 

 abundant elsewhere, this autumn, I have heard of but two other 

 specimens bagged in this county. 



Sand Martin. — A pure while variety was shot at Homing, on the 

 17th, by Mr. H. Harmer. 



Great Spotted Woodpecker. — A young bird killed at Ingham, on 

 the 14lh; and two more, on the 16th, one near Norwich, and the

Crossbill. — On the 14th an old male, in reddish yellow plumage, 

 was killed at Shottesham, and another at Holkhara on the 25th. 



Pied Flycatcher. — A most singular immigration of this species has 

 been observed this month, at Gunton, near Lowestoft, on the SuflTolk 

 coast, by Mr. G. G. Fowler. In sending me two immature specimens 

 on the 16th, he writes that, on the previous day, he had seen some 

 twenty or thirty witliin a hundred yards of the house (situated only a 

 short distance from the sea), and, strange to say, all young birds. He 

 shot six or seven all in the same plumage, young birds of the year,
