60 THE ZOOLOGIST., 
THE BIRDS OF LINCOLNSHIRE: ADDITIONS TO 
THE COUNTY LIST. 
By tHe Rev. F. L. Buatuwayt, M.A., M.B.0.U. 
THe writer knows of no published list of the birds of Lin- 
colnshire as a whole. The excellent works on the birds of the 
Humber District, completed by the late John Cordeaux in 1872 
and 1899, are by far the best published works dealing with the 
birds of Lincolnshire. But these works take no notice of large 
portions of the southern and western parts of the county, and 
also, during the last twelve or thirteen years, new species have 
been added to the list of the birds of that part of Cordeaux’s 
clearly defined ‘‘ Humber District” which falls within the 
boundaries of the county of Lincolnshire. The following notices, 
taken in connection with the Lincolnshire records in Cordeaux’s 
revised list of the birds of the Humber District (1899), will make 
up a tolerably complete list of the species of birds which have 
occurred in Lincolushire. 
Cordeaux’s list includes three hundred and twenty-two 
species, but of these it appears that fifty-two occurred only in 
Yorkshire, so his Lincolnshire list is reduced to two hundred 
and seventy. The following seventeen species, some of which — 
appear in the above-mentioned list as having occurred in York- 
shire, may now be added to the Lincolnshire list, while ten 
others have been here included within brackets to signify that 
such records are not entirely satisfactory. 
Mr. G. H. Caton Haigh, of Grainsby Hall, near Grimsby, 
prepared, some ten years ago, a list, which he has kindly allowed 
me to see, of the birds of Lincolnshire for the Victoria County 
History series, but this, I believe, has not yet been published. 
Many of the following records have already been noticed in 
such periodicals as ‘The Zoologist,’ ‘ British Birds,’ and ‘ The 
Naturalist.’ The initials G. H. C. H. after a record show that 
the authority is Mr. Caton Haigh, a gentleman who is well known 
among ornithologists for his systematic studies of the migratory 
movements of birds on the north-east coast of Lincolnshire.
