98 THE ZOOLOGIST. 
_the 6th he received a Honey Buzzard for preservation, from 
Fordham, near Downham Market, in Norfolk; one from Caxton, 
in Cambridgeshire, on the 8th; and one, same time, from near 
Sudbury, Suffolk—all young birds. 
Snowy Owl.—About the 2nd or 3rd a fine specimen, which had 
evidently been previously wounded, was shot by Lord Leicester’s 
keeper in the Burnham Overy marshes, the same recorded in ‘ The 
Field’ of November 18th. 
Gray Phalarope.—A bird fast assuming its winter plumage was 
killed early in the month. 
Purple Heron.—A young bird of the year was killed at Ran- 
worth on the 10th. It had been previously shot at and wounded 
in the leg. 
Purple Sandpiper.—An adult specimen was shot at Yarmouth 
on the 8th, another later in the month at Blakeney, and a young 
bird at the same locality on the 3lst of October. 
Raven.—On the 26th two Ravens were seen coming over the 
sea at Overstrand, near Cromer. Mr. N. F. Hele also records 
in ‘The Field’ of November 24th having seen three Ravens at 
Aldborough. 
Sclavonian Grebe.—A bird in full winter plumage was shot at 
Ranworth about the 14th. 
Haufinch—The Rev. E. T. Frere, of Burston, near Diss, 
informs me that during this month about thirty Hawfinches were 
killed in the same garden, at Diss, where this species appeared in 
such numbers two years ago, attracted no doubt by the number of 
yew trees. He fortunately succeeded in putting a stop to this 
useless slaughter. 
Lesser Spotted Woodpecker.—A bird of this species was killed 
in the same garden above referred to, at Diss, on the 24th. 
DECEMBER. 
Common Buzzard.—A rich brown-plumaged bird was brought 
up to Norwich on the 2nd. 
Rough-legged Buzzard.—One shot at Ditchingham on the 
Ist, another at Northrepps in second year’s plumage on the 
24th, and two near Yarmouth between the latter date and the 
29th—all immature birds. On the same day an unusually dark- 
coloured Buzzard, supposed to be of this species, was seen at 
Northrepps.
