NOTES AND QUEEIES 



MAMMALIA. 



Dissimilar Eyes in Human Subject. — A short time ago I noticed 

 a girl of about twelve years of age with a striking peculiarity — her 

 eyes were not alike : one being dark blue and the other dark brown. 

 Apart from this she was quite ordinary — black eyebrows and lashes, 

 a bright healthy complexion, and thick brown hair. — (Miss) F. R. 



HOLLOWAY. 



AVES. 



Missel-Thrush Feeding at London Window. — On the snowy morn- 

 ing of February 24th, I put some crushed biscuit on my window-sill, 

 in hopes of attracting a pair of Starlings which reside in this region 

 of small back-yards (Chalcot Crescent, N.W.), as well as the 

 Sparrows. They did not come, but to my great surprise, a Missel- 

 Thrush did, and after eating some biscuit, came again in about half 

 an hour, accompanied by another ; these birds showed even less 

 nervousness than the Sparrows, and after feeding remained a little 

 time on the neighbouring trees, but they did not appear again, 

 though I had the food ready next morning. Probably they left the 

 neighbourhood ; I saw three flying south over Euston Eoad about 

 noon that day. In so shy a species such tameness seems to 

 be strange, though the few Regent's Park Missel-Thrushes are, 

 of course, used to the sight of people ; I have, however, never 

 seen any Thrushes at all from this window before, though Blackbirds 

 not infrequently appear, and I have seen one feeding in a yard. —

The Little Owl in Sussex. — The Little Owl {Athene noctua) first 

 came under my notice in this district in April, 1913, but I failed to 

 authenticate it at that time, and it was not until last December 

 (1915) that I agaiu met with it, when on the 28th of that month I 

 saw one in Buxted Park. I found it at the same spot on the 

 following day. — Eobeet Moeeis (Uckfield, Sussex). 



A Sussex Marsh-Harrier. — On October 26th last there came into 

 my possession a fairly well-mounted immature Marsh-Harrier 

 [Circus ceruginosus), shot some years ago by the late Mr. William
