174 THE ZOOLOGIST. 
Owl occurs only at Teesmouth ; on Sept. 29th one passed at day- 
break, one on Oct. 1st at 7 a.m., and another on the 16th at 3 p.m. 
I saw the first Short-eared Owl on the Lincolnshire coast on 
Oct. 30th. Twelve were seen at Spurn the same morning. It 
thus appears that the migration of this species has extended just 
over a month, from Sept. 29th to Oct. 30th.
