SEVENTEENTH CENTURY 187 
5. In Gage’s “ History and Antiquities of Hengrave”’ in 
Suffolk, we read under date of July 1574, among a great variety 
of disbursements, ‘“ For iij livers for the puets and the other 
mewed fowls, vjd.,”’* which is suggestive of a Gullery not far off. 
6. The existence of a Gullery near Hunstanton has 
been already hinted at (swpra, p. 138). Mr. R. Gurney tells 
me there is still a place known as Mow Creek at Brancaster. 
7. While that another was known to Thomas Pennant 
in south Lincolnshire seems probable. t 
8. That a Gullery flourished at Hornsea Mere in Yorkshire 
in 1693 is to be inferred from the “ Diary of Abraham de la 
Pryme,” as quoted in “The Birds of Yorkshire,’ unless 
the birds were Black Terns. 
9. There was also a Gullery in 1702 between Barnard 
Castle and Bedale, acccrding to the following entry in Bishop 
Nicholson’s diary: “Thornton Bridge, thousands of the 
Biackcap Mews breeding in a moss.’’§ 
10. In a description of Delamere Forest in Cheshire in 
1617, || we read of “‘ great store of Fish and Fowl in the Mears, 
Puits or Sea Mawes in the flashes”? which conveys the 
impression of a Gullery. 
11. Time out of mind there has been a settlement of 
Black-headed Gulls at Pallinsburn in Northumberland, which 
Mr. Harting believes is traceable as far back as about 1750,4] 
but they are not menticned by Wallis.** 
12. It is pretty evident that Ravenglass in Cumberland 
held an ancient settlement of Gulls, at least nine allusions to 
Gulls are met with in the Household Book of Naworth Castle tt 
which commencesin 1612. Macpherson supposes that there was 
also a second Gullery which furnished the castle as well.tt
