In addition to the foregoing list, the following may be

 the Bermudas, but of which no specimens were obtained 

 during a residence of fourteen years : — 



1 This Crex pratensis was shot in Pembroke Marsh by Lieutenant 

 Wedderburn, on the 25th of October, 1847. It may be interesting to 

 record that the skin of this bird was, the following year, taken to 

 England by Colonel Drummond, at Mr. Wedderburn's request, and 

 presented to the late Mr. Yarrell ; and at the sale of Mr. Yarrell's 

 effects, after his death, Colonel Drummond, recognising the skin, 

 became the purchaser, and a few years ago presented it to Canon 

 Tristram, in whose collection it now is.
