Though some of the birds herein named would be hard 
to an English digestion, for all this miscellaneous collection 
purchasers would be found. I forget if it was at the market 
that I saw a Snow Bunting, a fine old cock, Lut tailless, or 
at the birdstuffer’s, Carlo Bonomi, Via D’aorgennes, No. 41, 
at whose shop I was shown a good many birds. Among 
the rarest ones, which I was assured by him had been killed 
in the vicinity, I have jotted down Temminck’s Stint, Ring 
Dotterel,* Lesser Ring Dotterel, Black Tern, Smew, (adult 
male and female), Waterouzel, Penduline Titmouse, Scops. 
Owl, Rock Thrush, Little Crake, Little Bittern, and Nut- 
cracker. 
There was another birdstuffer, and I may as well give 
* The following fact I had from Mr. Bates of Eastbourne. An egg 
of a Ring Dotterel lay seven days on a shelf in his house, and on the 
seventh he heard the chick begin to break the shell.
