fishermen and wild-fowlers on the Sussex coast, where it is an 

 occasional visitor in autumn.] 



About August 10th a young Ked-necked Grebe, Podiceps 

 ruhricollis, was shot on a little pool inside the sea-wall at 

 Salthouse. I never saw a more immature example as to 

 plumage, the black stripes on the throat being very strongly 

 marked ; but of course there is no reason to suppose that 

 it was bred in Norfolk. The Ked-necked Grebe has occurred 

 in Norfolk in every stage of plumage, even to the most 

 perfect breeding-garb. I saw a "variety," nearly white, with 

 a sandy tinge, some time ago at Cambridge, which had been 

 killed in the Eastern Counties. A perfectly white one, obtained 

 at Eastbourne (Zool. 1879, p. 377), is now in the collection of 

 Mr. Marshall, of Belmont, Taunton. 



As varieties among Grebes are so very rare, it may be worth 

 digressing to say that in the collection of Mr. J. G. Barclay, of 

 Leyton, is a sandy-coloured Great Crested Grebe, obtained in 

 Leadenhall Market. Mr. E. T. Booth, in his Catalogue of the 

 Birds in the Brighton Museum, mentions a white Sclavonian 

 Grebe. 



A Diver, believed to have been a Black-throated, Colymbus 

 arcticus, was seen by Messrs. F. C. and 0. V. Aplin at Cromer 

 on November 20tli. 



An immature Black Guillemot, Uria (jrylle, was shot at Cley 

 on December 20th. 



NOTES ON BATS IN NORTH LINCOLNSHIRE. 

 By G. H. Caton Haigh. 



For several years past I have paid some attention to Bats in 

 North Lincolshire, and have succeeded in identifying five species 

 (the same number as recorded by Lord Lilford (j)p. 61 - 67) from 

 Northamptonshire) ; only three of these, however, can be 

 considered at all common. The five species which I have 

 obtained in North Lincolnshire (using the nomenclature of Bell's 

 ' British Quadrupeds ') are : — 



Scotophilus noctula. — This fine species is by no means 

 uncommon. It is usually the first of the Bats to come abroad 

 in the evening, frequently appearing before the sun has set. At
