330 THE ZOOLOGIST. 
Red-necked Phalarope on the beach at Yarmouth the same day. 
About the 8th of this month the Yarmouth birdcatchers were 
netting Siskins, Linnets, and Goldfinches; on the 18th hundreds 
of Sky Larks and numbers of Greenfinches made their appearance. 
Grey Crows and some Jackdaws appeared on the coast at North- 
repps on the 6th and 8th; and Grey Crows in large numbers, 
and some Black Crows, appeared at Yarmouth on the 14th. On 
the 20th, at the same place, Missel Thrushes arrived in con- 
siderable flocks. At Cromer lighthouse on the 13th, between 
8 and 5 a.m., seven Sky Larks and one Starling struck the light ; 
and at Happisburgh, between 4 and twenty minutes past 5 a.m., 
seventy-two Larks, eight Starlings, and a male and female Bramb- 
ling struck the lighthouse—the first big flight of the season. 
In ‘The Field,’ about the llth, a passenger by a steamer 
from Aberdeen to London, reported the appearance on board 
of six Chaffinches, a Rook, and a Woodcock when off Cromer. 
The wings of the following species, killed at Lynn Well lightship 
were sent to Mr. J. H. Gurney, jun., on the 17th:—Kestrel, 
Snow Bunting, Chaffinch, Robin (two), Wren, Goldcrest. The 
presence of the Common Wren amongst these migrants is very 
interesting. 
Two Pink-footed Geese were shot in South Breydon marshes 
on November Ist, and one Grey-lag, shot out of three seen on 
Breydon on the 4th; another was shot in the neighbourhood on 
the 17th. A Spotted Rail was shot near Yarmouth on the 6th, 
and one or two in the neighbourhood in the previous month. 
On the 8th a Grey Shrike was killed near Yarmouth. An adult 
Red-throated Diver was shot on Scratby beach on the 10th. Two 
Shore Larks were shot on Breydon Wall on the 13th; and one 
shot, and three more seen, on Yarmouth Denes on the 22nd. 
Mr. Smith thinks that this species, and Snow Buntings also, 
passed further inland this season, instead of frequenting the 
Denes and shore line. A solitary Sclavonian Grebe was shot on 
Breydon on the 14th. Mr. Smith informs me that he saw a 
Ring Dove on the 22nd, that had just died, which had been taken 
and brought up as a nestling, and had lived in a cage for nineteen 
years. The only fowl of any note on Breydon in November were 
afew Scaups, Pochard (immature), and a male Shoveller in change 
of plumage; and five Golden-eyes at Hickling. Mr. E. Boult 
informed Mr. Southwell that Scaups appeared with Pochards and
