two specimens, shot by myself on l7th December, 1847, 

 and 3rd of December, 1848, in Pembroke Marsh. 



Bltje-yellow-backed Wood Waeblbe {S. Americana). 

 The Eev. H. B. Tristram killed the only specimen hitherto 

 obtaiaed, on the 21st April, 1849, at Ireland Island. 



Praeie Wood Waeblee (S. discolor). Shot by myself 

 in the dockyard, at Ireland Island, whilst on guard, 3rd 

 October, 1848, contrary to all the rules of H. M. S., and of 

 Mr. Ballingall's. This little bird I had noticed for some 

 days previously, but could not get near it, it was so shy. 

 This is the only specimen hitherto obtained. 



Blaok-and-whitb Ceebping Waeblee (Mniotilta varid). 

 One example only of this pretty bird, shot by Colonel 

 Drummond, at St. George's, in October, 1849, and now in 

 my possession. 



Maeyland Yellow-theoat {Trichas Marylandica). A 

 male specimen was shot by Mr. Hurdis, m. a bushy swamp, 

 near the Sluice Gates, on the 18th October, 1853. It was, 

 unfortunately, very much mutilated. 



Cedae Waxwing {Bombycilla Americana). I first found 

 this bird on the 10th October, 1847, at the Ponds, near 

 Hungry Bay ; there were about thirty of them, flying about 

 amongst the cedar trees, three of which I shot. On the 

 I7th December following, I shot four others, one of which 

 had a few of the beautiful wax-like tips to the secondary 

 feathers. In December, 1849, Mr. Hurdis killed two out 

 of a flock of about twelve. On the 5th January, 1850, I 

 noticed one m the garden, at the officers' mess house, at 

 Hamilton. 



Ameeican Pipit {Anthus Ivdovicianus). One specimen 

 only, shot by Mr. Fozard, on the 26th November, 1848, and 

 now in my possession.
