Bat flying in the Sunshine—Whilst walking on ‘illmire, a large 
common near York, with some of my friends, on the 18th instant, I noticed 
a bat flying about a house. The day was about the hottest we have had 
here this year, and the sun was shining very brightly at the time: it was 
about four o'clock in the afternoon.—Edward H. Christy ; 20, Bootham, 
York, May 21, 1876. 
Leadenhall Market in May.—On the 5th and 15th of May I took the 
opportunity of being in the City to visit Leadenhall Market. In spite of 
legislation, Dutch and English, there were quantities of ruffs and reeves, 
I am sorry to say, and redshanks and other birds; and in some cases I even 
saw the eggs offered for sale at the same stalls with the birds. There were 
also many godwits of both species, and one spotted redshank in splendid 
summer plumage, besides plovers, and on the dtha graylag goose, which 
I never saw in Leadenhall so late before.—J. H. Gurney, jun.; Reform 
Club.
