 Flamborough Bird-notes. — Several Crossbills [Loxia curvirostra) have been 

 seen at Flamborough during the month of August ; I know of two males having 

 been shot, a very rare occurrence here. August 6th, Little Gull {Lams muiutus) 

 seen some three or four miles N. E. off the Headland ; also several Skuas and 

 .Manx Shearwater [Puffinus anglorum), Guillemots {Lomvia troile), Razorbills 

 (Aka torda), and Puffins {Fratercitla arctica) plentiful up to Aug. 20th ; after that 

 they took their departure in a southerly direction. In September the cliffs were 

 deserted, excepting by the Rockdoves {Columbia livid). The other day I observed 

 several Wheatears {Saxicola cenatttke), Redstarts {Ruticilla phcenicurus), and 

 Swallows {Hirundo rustica) gathering about the Headland, making ready for 

 their long journey. — Matthew Bailey, Flamborough, September 17th, 1889. 



Oystercatcher within the Humber.— On August 29th and 30th, a pair of 

 Oystercatchers {Hicmatopus ostralcgus), young birds, were shot on the 'titties' in 

 this parish. Although common on the Lincolnshire coast, they are rarely seen 

 within the Humber, these being the first which have come under my notice for 

 some length of time. — J- W. Harrison, Goxhill, Lincolnshire, Sept. 4th, 1889.

Colias edusa at Malton. — On the 50th August I took a specimen of this 

 butterfly settled on a gooseberry bush in my firm's nursery gardens here. — 

 G. W. Slater, Malton, 4th September, 1SS9. 



Colias edusa near Harrogate.— On the 5th instant I took two specimens 

 of Colias edusa (both males) within a mile of this place, and on the 9th I my son 

 took a female of the same species — all good specimens. I believe it is about 

 twelve years since this insect has been taken here. Mr. Porritt informs me lie 

 has not heard of a capture of it in Yorkshire this year. — Ben. BLAYDES 

 THOMPSON, Harrogate, 16th September, 1S89.
