290 THE ZOOLOGIST. 
East Suffolk.—In accordance with the suggestion of the Editor, 
I venture to send a list of the provincial names of some of the 
more common animals in East Suffolk. It may be interesting to 
compare this list with that sent by Mr. Little from the extreme 
west of the country. Except 
in the case of the Greenfinch, 
scarcely two will be found precisely similar. 
Missel Thrush and Fieldfare. Felfit. 
Song Thrush. Mavis. 
Spotted Flycatcher. Waill-bird. 
Whitethroat. Hay-jack. 
Meadow and Rock Pipit. 
Chaffinch. Spink. 
Greenfinch. Green Linnet. 
Goldfinch. King Harry. 
Bullfinch. Olp. 
Wryneck. Cuckoo's Mate. 
Titlark. 
Nightjar. Dor-hawk. 
Peewit. Horn-pie. 
Heron. Harnser. 
Whimbrel. Brame. 
Stoat. Weasel. 
Weasel, male. 
- female. 
Shrew. Ranny. 
Frog. Fresher or Freshey. 
Newt. Swift. 
White-throat. 
Mouse-hunt. 
No difference, as a rule, is recognised between the Missel 
Thrush and Fieldfare, both being included under the name of 
“Felfit.”. The word “ Puttock” still exists here as a surname, 
although neither Kite nor Buzzard is known except as an occa- 
sional visitor. All our larger hawks and very many more of our 
most beautiful and interesting birds and animals are here perse- 
cuted with the utmost rigour, and are fast disappearing altogether. 
The Magpie is becoming quite a rare bird here, and how the 
Kestrel still manages to maintain a footing it is difficult to under- 
stand. The Pheasant reigns supreme, and everything has to give 
place to this game-bird.—G. T. Ropr (Blaxhall, Wickham Market). 
Nottinghamshire.— Seeing in the June number of ‘The 
Zoologist’ that you express a wish that some of the readers 
would send lists of the provincial names of birds, 1 enclose the 
following, all of which I have heard used, most of them com- 
monly.—J. WHITAKER (Rainworth Lodge, Mansfield, Notts.) 
Missel Thrush. Sycock. Whitethroat. Peggy. 
Yellowhammer. Goldie. Marsh Tit. Black-cap. 
Chaffinch. Spink. Blue Tit. Tom-tit. 
Goldfinch. Proud Tailor. Long-tailed Tit. Buwmbarrel. 
Pied Wagtail. Nanny Wagtail. Whinchat. Utick. 
Common Wren. Jintie. | Heron. Heronshaw. 
Willow Wren. Sweet Billy. | Magpie. Ninut. 
Redstart. Fire-tail. | Woodpecker. Nickerpecker. 
Black-headed Bunting. Reed Spar- | Corn Crake. Meadow Drake,
