October 16th, and sent me; another, also a female bird, was 
killed about the same time, and is now in Mr. Spelman’s collec- 
tion at Yarmouth. During the month of August a male Little 
Stint in adult plumage, a red Knot, and two Bar-tailed Godwits 
—one red, the other partly so—were sent me up from Aldeburgh, 
in Suffolk; a Sanderling in full winter plumage and several 
Knots were sent me from same locality on January 15th. 
TurnstoneE.—On May 15th, being on Breydon in a punt, I 
saw two old Turnstones on the mud-flats, and was much 
interested in watching their actions by the aid of my field-glass. 
They were very tame, and allowed me to approach within thirty 
yards of them. 
Temuinck’s Stinr.—On August 24th Mr. R. F. Harmer, of 
Yarmouth, shot the most immature specimen: of Temminck’s 
Stint I ever saw killed in Norfolk. It was a female by dissection, 
and in total length measured 6} inches in length; across fully 
extended wings, 12 inches ; carpal joint to tip of longest primary, 
343 inches ; tarsus, $4 inch; bill, #4 inch; tail, 2 inches; middle 
toe and claw, +1 inch. 
PurrLte Hreron.—The Purple Heron mentioned at page 159 
of ‘The Zoologist’ for 1879 as having been killed during the 
middle of December, 1878, was shot on the 17th of October 
previous, and sent up to me the following day from Yarmouth. 
Nicur Heron.—An adult male was obtained on May 10th, 
1879, in the parish of Mendham, near Harleston. A young man 
named Chesney, a workman at the mill, saw a curious bird 
towards evening fly across an adjoining field, and alight on 
the branches of a tree; he immediately procured a gun, and 
walking up to the tree shot it easily; he called it a young 
Hearnshaw, and afterwards gaye it to Mr. Read, farmer of that 
parish, from whom I subsequently obtained it. It was in perfect 
plumage and condition, and had two long white feathers in its 
crest. 
Birrern.— One was shot near Yarmouth on February 18th. 
Portsn Swan.—On February 16th a fine adult pair were shot 
on Wroxham Broad; both had perfect wings, the male weighing 
22 Ibs., and the female 19 lbs., and measuring five feet in length, 
the male being two inches longer. 
Keyptran Goose.— Mr. R. H. Gillett killed one of these birds 
on December 19.
