312 THE ZOOLOGIST. 



I might perhaps add to the foregoing notes a few local Surrey 

 names which have recently been brought to my notice : — 



Christial = Kestrel. — (R. W. Courage, per F. Styan and J. 

 Mitchell. A term used near Thursley ; obviously a mere local 

 pronunciation). 



Tappho =•• Green Woodpecker. — (The same authority. The 

 same remarks as to origin apply.) 



Fanner = Hen-Harrier. — (Fide Mr. R. W. Courage, of 

 Thursley, per G. Styan and J. Mitchell. Probably an error for 

 Kestrel, as " Wind-fanner " is a common local name for that 

 species.) 



I fear that this will be my last contribution for some time to 

 the history of the avifauna in Surrey, as I am leaving England to 

 take up duties in South Africa. I have endeavoured in these 

 notes to bring up to date all my collected observations not men- 

 tioned in my book on Surrey Birds, and I hope that in the future 

 some other ornithologist will periodically recapitulate the annual 

 records from my own county.
