ADDENDA. 



Page 275 — An example of the Siberian Pectoral Sandpiper 

 {Tringa acuminata) was shot at Yarmouth on August 29th, 1892, 

 and exhibited at a meeting of the Norfolk and Norwich Natural- 

 ists' Society by Mr. Southwell on September 27th. (Conf. Field, 

 October ist, 1892, p. 537.) 



Page 163 — As an example of Glareola orientalis has recently 

 been obtained in Japan, the range of this species must be in- 

 creased accordingly. (Conf. Stejneger, Ibis, 1892, p. 463.) The 

 Pratincole {Glareola dacotice) recently discovered in the Canary 

 Islands appears to be a good species, but as I have not yet had 

 the pleasure of examining specimens I am not prepared to 

 express an opinion on its affinities. The Latin diagnosis is 

 vague. (Conf. Ibis, 1889, p. 504.) 



Page 362 — The large number of Ruddy Sheldrakes obtained 

 or observed in our islands during the present year is very remark- 

 able, but occurred too late for me to give details. 



Page 407 — East Palaearctic examples of Fuligula nyroca 

 have been described by Radde as distinct under the name of 

 Fuligula baeri. (Conf. Seebohm, B. of Japan, p. 254.)
