[Further Notes from Llejn, West Carnarvonshire. By 0. V. Aplin, 
F.L.S. Zoologist, 1901, pp.'l41-loO.] 
In thi?, as well as in a previous paper published in the 
same periodical (Zool. 1900, p. 489), Mr. Aplin has given a 
pleasing account of his rambles over the western parts of 
Carnarvonshire, and of his adventures in- search of the birds 
of that district. Bardsev Island, where the Manx Shear- 
water appears still to breed, was also visited. No special 
rarity was observed, unless it be the Purple Sandpiper, of 
which three occurrences were noted during: the two visits.

Count Arrigoni has carefully compared the specimens in a 
small collection of birds made for him by Herr Brusina 
(Director of the National Zoological Museum of Agram) on 
the Dalmatian littoral with others from various localities 
in the Palsearctic region, and notes the results. Count 
Arrigoni seems to be of the opinion that it is not easy to 
separate Hypolais icterina and R. polyglotta satisfactorily.
