memoir 'Die Vogel des St. Peters^biirger Gouvernement/ 

 puljli.'>hed in 18S6, as the best authority on tlie subject. The 

 Double Snipe {GalUnula major) vras the favourite object of 

 pursuit of the sportsman at this time of year, and it was 

 certainly an excellent bird for tlie table. 



Mr. Robert Read exhibited some peculiar varieties of the 

 eggs of the Common Guillemot [Uria troile), collected at 

 Flamborongh during the past summer, and called attention 

 to the correspondence of their variations with the eggs of 

 the Kitti-«vake {Rissa iridactylu) and other birds -which bred 

 in the same locality.
