9. IcknaND Fatcon (Falco islandus).—A young female said © 
to be of this species was shot near Lincoln, December, 1900; 
see ‘ Naturalist,’ 1901, p. 42. The writer has seen this speci- 
men, and it appears to have been correctly identified. It will 
shortly be in the Lincoln Museum. 
10. AmERICAN PEREGRINE Fatcon (F’. anatum).—One obtained, 
Humberstone, Lincolnshire coast, September 28th, 1910. The 
first recognized capture of this species in Europe (G. H. C. H.); 
see ‘ British Birds,’ vol. v. p. 219. 
11. Rep-Frootep Fatcon (F. vespertinus).—One was shot by a 
keeper at Panton, near Wragby, on May 15th, 1902 (G. H.C. H.). 
(Lirtte Keret (Ardea garzetta), Burr-BackeED Heron (A. 
bubulcus).—An example of each of these species is in the Lincoln 
Museum. They were formerly bought by Mr. F. Baines, of 
Gainsborough, at a sale in Boston about 1865, and were said 
to have been captured a few years previously in the fens near 
that town. The history, however, of the specimens is not 
satisfactory, and perhaps both are Continental specimens. There 
is an unsatisfactory notice of the capture of a Great White Heron 
(A. alba) in Lincolnshire in Yarrell’s ‘ British Birds,’ ed. 4, 
vol. iv. p. 179. An undoubted example of the Squacco Heron (A. 
ralloides) was shot on the Humber Bank, Great Cotes, on Sept. 
29th, 1910 (G. H. C. H.). This is the second record of this 
species for the county, the first example having been procured 
about fifty years ago.| 
12. Rep-cresteD Pocnarp (Fuligula rufina). — Specimens 
were shot near Boston in the years 1826 and 1854; see Yarrell’s 
‘ British Birds,’ ed. 4, vol. iv. p. 408. 
13. PRatINcoLE (Glareola pratincola).—One shot near Bran- 
ston Hall, Lincoln, August 15th, 1827; see Yarrell’s ‘ British 
Birds,’ ed. 4, vol. ili. p. 288. Another is said to have been 
killed on Brumby Common in the north-west of the county some 
years ago (Peacock). 
(Lirrue Rincep Piover (A’gialitis curonica). —One obtained, 
Holbeach Marsh, September, 1894; see ‘ The Naturalist,’ 1900, 
p. 27. In the absence of confirmation of this record, it is 
perhaps safer to assume that the specimen was an example of 
the small Continental form of the Ringed Plover (A. hiaticola).] 
14. Buack-winerp Stitt (Himantopus candidus).—The figure
