Hobby, {Falco subbuteo). — An adult male was found dead 

 (it had been shot) in Bowmont Forest, 4th June, 1870. 



Honey Buzzard, (Pernis apivorus). — The under-keeper 

 at Newtonden shot a very fine specimen there, on the 22nd 

 May, 1865. 



Spotted Crake, (Crex porzana). — One shot at Gradon 

 Moss, 19th October, 1868. 



Canada Goose, (Anser Canadensis). — There was a large 

 flock of these birds in the district, during the winter and 

 spring of 1866—7, but the only specimens I am aware of 

 being obtained, were shot by Mr Cowe, of X)owlaw, who shot 

 five of them on the 14th May, 1867. 



Smew, (Mergus albellus). — A pair of these birds, of which 

 the male only was shot, were observed on a pond near Kelso, 

 26th January, 1869. It was an adult in fine plumage.

Agaricus ( Collybia) protractus, Fr. One or two specimens 



in a fir plantation, October, 1872. Remarkable for its 



long root. 

 Lactarius flexuostjs, Fr. On grass under birch trees, 



September, 1872. Gills thick and distant, in which 



respect it differs from most of the Lactarii. 

 L. victus, Fr. Woods, September, 1872. A small species, 



the milk of which turns grey. 

 L. volemus, Fr. September, 1871. Woods near Langlee 



and Fernihurst, sparingly. A large and handsome species, 



and edible, unlike most of its congeners. 

 L. glyciosmus, Fr. Fir woods near Hunthill ; September, 



October, 1871. Remarkable for its curious sweet odour. 

 L. ftjllginosus, Fr. Wood near Hundalee; September, 1871. 

 Cantharellus tuberiformis, Fr. Woods near Fernihurst, 



in some abundance ; September, 1871. Very much allied 



to C. infundibuliformis : it appears to me difficult to 



separate the two species.
