320 THE ZOOLOGIST. 



Little Gull. — Two or three specimens shot on Breydon at 

 the same time as the Sabine's Gulls ; whence the report that five 

 of these had been obtained. 



Storm Petrel. — One shot at Gorleston on the 17th, and one 

 at Cley on the 21st. 



Wild Geese. — A Bean Goose and Greylag Goose, both 

 immature, were shot at Yarmouth on the 15th and 22nd. 



Kentish Plover. — Two immature specimens were killed on 

 Breydon on the 21th, making a most unusual number in one 

 season. 



Shore Lark. — Two on Yarmouth Denes, October 26th. 



Golden-crested Wren. — A considerable number were ob- 

 served about the Caistor Road, next Yarmouth, on the 22nd 

 and 23rd. 



Tengmalm's Owl. — Certainly the rarest bird of the season, 

 next to the Sabine's Gull, was an adult male of this species, 

 secured by the keeper of the Cromer lighthouse, as it fluttered 

 against the lantern on the night of October 30th. It came into 

 the possession of Mr. J. H. Gurney, jun., who recorded its capture 

 in ' The Zoologist.' This is the third specimen obtained in Nor- 

 folk. In 'The Field' of November 18th, another bird of this 

 species was said to have been shot at Dartford. 



November. 



Spotted Rail. — Again, this month, I heard of some eight or 

 ten specimens shot in the Yarmouth neighbourhood, and four near 

 Lowestoft. I have reason to believe it still nests on the margins 

 of our wildest and most extensive Broads. 



Sclavonian Grebe. — An immature bird, near Yarmouth, on 

 the 9th. 



Shore Lark. —On the 13th I received another live specimen 

 from Yarmouth for my aviary, with Snow Buntings and Twites. 

 It may be mentioned here, that on the 9th thousands of Snow 

 Buntings and Shore Larks were observed, passing south, at 

 Heligoland. 



Snipe drumming in Winter.— Several of these birds were 

 heard at Ran worth on the 8th, making their well-known sound, 

 as in spring. 



Great Grey Shrike. — A bird of this species was taken alive 

 at Beeston, near Cromer, about the 15th.
