2002 Tue Zootocist—Fesruary, 1872. 
notes from that and the neighbouring islands. This visit being at 
a different time of year, I have been able to add considerably 
to my list in the ‘ Zoologist’ for 1866 (S. S. 447). . 
Whitetailed Eagle.—First, though certainly not least, two white- 
tailed eagles were shot in the islands during the time I was there ; 
the first at Alderney, about the Ist of November —I cannot give 
the exact date, as I afterwards heard it had been kept alive a day 
or two after it was shot, before it was sent over to Guernsey to be 
stuffed. This will probably account for the empty state of its 
stomach, which contained nothing but one small bone. I saw it 
in the flesh at Mr. Couch’s (the birdstuffer) shop, on the 3rd of 
November, the day of its arrival in Guernsey. The second was 
shot at Bordeaux Harbour, Guernsey, on the 14th ; it was brought 
to me the same day, and I took various measurements of both this 
and the Alderney bird, with which I do not trouble you, as I think 
a notice of the two captures with the various particulars of the 
birds has been sent to you by another correspondent. 
Common Buzzard.—I also saw one of these birds in the flesh 
at Mr. Couch’s shop; he informed me it had been shot at Alderney 
about the same time as the eagle. 
Redwings and Fieldfares—Were both numerous, but probably 
had only just arrived, as I did not see any examples hanging up in 
the market with the blackbirds and thrushes till after I had been 
about a week in the island; after that there were plenty. The 
live birds were also numerous in various parts of the island, but 
I did not see any for the first two or three days after my arrival. 
Ring Ouzel—I saw one of these birds at Mr. Couch’s shop 
which had been shot in the island just before I arrived; I also saw 
another in the market, a young bird of the year, with only a very 
slight indication of the white mark on the breast. 
Tithys Redstart.—I saw one of these birds, a fine male, on the 
Ist of November, not far from the Vale Church: as I did not 
want a specimen, I did not shoot it, but watched it for a con- 
siderable time: its movements reminded me much more of the 
wheatear than of the common redstart, as it flew from the top of 
one large stone or rock to another, always selecting some elevated 
and conspicuous situation, such as the top of a wall, a large stone, 
or a turned-up turf; the only thing which reminded me of the 
common redstart was the peculiar quiver of the tail. On the 8th I 
saw two more tithys redstarts near Cobo Bay: the place in which
