370 THE ZOOLOGIST. 



T. calidris. Redshank. — Redshanks were abundant on Tet- 

 ney fitties on Aug. 8th, but no doubt many of these were local 

 birds. A considerable increase, however, took place on Sept. 8th. 



T.fuscus. Spotted Redshank.- — I saw a couple of these birds 

 on Tetney Haven on Aug. 25th. 



T. canescens. Greenshank. — Greenshanks were late in their 

 appearance. I heard the calls of some passing over Grainsby at 

 a great height on the afternoon of Aug. 26th, but could not see 

 the birds. I saw one on the coast on 30th. 



Limosa lapponica. Bar-tailed Godwit. — Scarce ; I saw the 

 first on Sept. 3rd, a few on 8th, and a good many on 17th. 



Numenius arquata. Curlew. — Two or three Curlews on the 

 coast on Aug. 8th. They were fairly numerous throughout the 

 winter. 



N. pliceopus. Whimbrel. — Very scarce ; I saw the first on 

 Aug. 8th. 



Sterna fluviatilis. Common Tern. — A few of these Terns off 

 Donna Nook on Sept. 2nd, amongst the much larger flocks of the 

 next species. On Sept. 17th a great number of Terns appeared 

 on the coast, and, though the majority were Arctic Terns, many 

 belonged to this species. 



S. macrura. Arctic Tern. — As usual, Arctic Terns were 

 abundant during the autumn, particularly on Sept. 2nd and 17th. 



Stercorarius pomatorhinus. Pomatorhine Skua. — Several of 

 these Skuas, with a good many of the commoner S. crepidatus, 

 flying about over the "fitties" and adjacent land at Tetney and 

 North Cotes on Sept. 12th — a stormy day, with heavy squalls 

 from the north. I also saw a single bird off Donna Nook on 

 Sept. 17th. 



S. crepidatus. Arctic Skua. — A single young bird at Donna 

 Nook on Sept. 2nd. A considerable number at Tetney and North 

 Cotes on Sept. 12th, and both old and young birds were quite 

 numerous all along the coast on 17th. 



Podicipes cristatus. Great Crested Grebe. — I saw one of 

 these Grebes at Donna Nook on Sept. 2nd. It was diving close 

 in to the shore.
