Baillon's Crake, Porzana bailloni (Vieillot). — One, a male, 

 in the collection of the Rev. H. H. Slater, was shot at Holmpton, in 

 Holderness, in September, 1880 (Zool. 1884, p. 179), (Slater MS.). 



Kentish Plover, AZgialitis cantiana (Lath.). — 1881, Oct. 8th, 

 one, in immature plumage, shot on Lincolnshire coast (Zool. 

 1882, p. 74). 



Red-breasted Snipe, Macrorhamphus griseus (J. F. Gmelin). 

 — An adult in an advanced state of moult, changing from the 

 Knot- like plumage of summer to the grey of winter, was shot near 

 Tetney Haven on Aug, 15th, 1882 (Zool. 1882, p. 392). It was 

 sent by me at the time to the Museum of Zoology, Cambridge, 

 but was found to be too far gone for preservation. 



Pectoral Sandpiper, Tringa maculata, Vieillot. — An adult 

 male, shot on the Holderness coast, near Kilnsea, on Oct. 2nd, 



1888, by Mr. T. W. Pool, of 3, Park Street, Hull (Nat. 1888, 

 p. 354; 1889, p. 1), is illustrated in Lord Lilford's 'Coloured 

 Figures of the Birds of the British Islands,' part xiv. 



Temminck's Stint, Tringa temminckii, Leislar. — One killed 

 against telegraph-wire near Lincoln, spring of 1884 (Nat. 1884-5, 

 p. 32). Three seen, one shot, Spurn, Sept. 15th, 1887 (Mig. Rep. 

 1887, p. 32). Is probably of more frequent occurrence on the 

 east coast in the autumn than is generally supposed, and is over- 

 looked. May be readily recognised by its peculiar call-note when 

 once learnt. 



Spotted Redshank, Totanus fuscus (Linn.). — Many occur- 

 rences ; it is not unfrequently met with on the coast in September, 

 October, and early in November. Must be considered a regular 

 immigrant in the autumn, in limited numbers. 



Sabine's Gull, Xema sabinii (Joseph Sabine). — September, 



1889, one shot off Flamborough Head (Nat. 1889, p. 333). 1890, 

 Sept. 9th, two shot off Flamborough ; Sept. 15th, two (Nat. 1890, 

 p. 318). One also Oct. 7th, and another Oct. 13th (Nat. 1890, 

 p. 354). Of the 1890 birds, one adult and one in first plumage 

 are in the museum, York. 



Ivory Gull, Pagophila ehirnea (Phipps). — 1883, March 29th, 

 30th, 31st, an adult seen on the coast between Grimsby Fish 

 Dock and Clecthorpcs on each of these days by Mr. T. Fisher, of 



enwich (Zool. 1883, p. 258). 



Faked Grebe, Podicipes lugrkollis, C. L. Brehm. — 1882,
