inthe stomach. Their food consists principally of small fish, frogs, 
aquatic insects and vegetable matter. In the stomach of one I found 
a roach, quite entire, which measured six inches in length. 
Sclavonian Grebe.—On the 15th of December an immature male 
was obtained in the river near Earlham Bridge. 
Great Northern Diver.—On the 13th of November an immature 
male was killed on the Somerleyton Marshes, near Lowestoft; its 
stomach contained only some pebbles as large as horse-beans. 
Blackthroated Diver.—A female, in the second year’s plumage, 
showing all the square white spots on its shoulders, was killed at 
Yarmouth on the 8th of December: its beak was black, inclining 
to horn-colour at its base: in its stomach were large pebbles and 
a quantity of grit. A smaller bird (a female), in the first year’s 
plumage, also came to hand from Blakeney at the same time. 
Little Auk.—During the prevalence of the recent gales off this 
coast two examples of the little auk were sent me, both being picked 
up inland; the first, a female, on the 26th of November, at Yoxford, 
in Suffolk; and the other, a male, on the 3rd of December, on the 
Kimberley Estate, near Wymondham. Both birds were dead; the 
last named, upon being skinned, exhibited some recent gunshot 
wounds. 
Sandwich Tern.—On the 20th fof October an immature female 
was shot at Yarmouth: its stomach was filled with small green 
bones, consisting principally of vertebra of the garpike. I have 
notes of two other occurrences on the Norfolk coast, both adult 
birds; in the stomach of one I found’ an almost entire sand- 
launce. A few birds are seen about Yarmouth, I believe, during 
each autumn, but they do not appear to be often killed. 
Little Gull.— During the month of October I received four 
examples of this species from Yarmouth, all being killed along the 
beach; the first, a female, on the 18th; two days after two more 
females, one immature ; and on the 30th a male. The stomach of 
one I found filled with barley and a single shell, and in that of 
another some bits of fat.
