VERTEBRATE ZOOLOGY.— A feature of interest connected witli Gis- 

 burn Park, is that in it was kept the last herd of Wild White Cattle in York^^hire, 

 the last survivor of which was killed in 1859, the breed having become degenerate 

 with continuous brccdinLi 'in-and-in.' 



Ornithological information seems to be altogether wanting for thisdistnct, 

 except that in '18S1 the Pied Flycatcher was observed at (Jisburn by Mr. W. Eagle 

 Clarice.
