306 THE ZOOLOGIST. 



and was preserved by Mr. Braddon, of Guildford. It was recorded 

 by him in ' The Zoologist,' Jan. 15th, 1902, p. 32. It is the first 

 record from Surrey since the year 1862. 



Grey-Lag Goose (Anser cinereus). — A specimen was shot at 

 East Molesey, on the river, in hard weather, in January of 1880. 

 It passed into Mr. F. Yearley's hands for preservation (F. Styan 

 and J. Mitchell). 



Bean Goose (A. segetum). — Capt. E. Barnard Hankey in- 

 forms me that in the winter of 1892 a specimen was shot by 

 himself and his brother at Cannon Farm, Fetcham, on the bank 

 of the River Mole. It is preserved, and is now in the possession 

 of J. Barnard Hankey, Esq., of Fetcham Park, where I have 

 examined it. I am glad to be able to record this the second 

 definite instance of the shooting of this species in the county. 

 The only other local example of which I am aware was shot near 

 Godalming in 1841, and is now in the Charterhouse Collection. 



Beenacle Goose (Bemicla leucopsis). — In the winter of 1875 

 a specimen was shot on the Thames, at Thames Ditton. It was 

 preserved and exhibited at the ' Bear Inn,' Esher, being stuffed 

 by Mr. F. Yearley (F. Styan and J. Mitchell). 



Pochard (Fuligula ferina) . — One was shot at West Molesey 

 on Jan. 8th, 1869, and preserved by Mr. F. Yearley (F. Styan 

 and J. Mitchell). On Fetcham mill-pond — which, owing to its 

 numerous springs, is seldom, if ever, frozen over, and is con- 

 sequently a favourite resort for duck in hard weather — this species 

 frequently occurs. Capt. Hankey informs me that he has seen 

 as many as thirty or more together on the lake, and on one 

 occasion killed no fewer than eight in one afternoon. He has 

 some specimens preserved from that locality, and on Boxing Day, 

 1901, shot one out of a small flock which were on the water. On 

 the 5th January, 1902, a male was observed by Mr. Gordon 

 Dalgliesh on Forked Pond, near Milford (in lit.). 



Tufted Duck (F. cristata). — Capt. Hankey informs me that 

 this species has occurred occasionally on Fetcham mill-pond in 

 hard weather, and he has preserved specimens shot at that place. 

 On Boxing Day of 1901 a pair were observed and one shot by 

 him on that water. This specimen he kindly presented to me, 

 and it is now in my possession. 

 Sca.jp (F. marila). — A male was shot on Jan. 10th, 1877, on
