BIRDS OF SOUTH-EAST NORTHUMBERLAND. 263 
of P. yelkouanus given by Saunders. The particular bird, pre- 
sented by Mr. Duncan, is in the Hancock Museum. 
Fuumar (Fulmarus glacialis).—A very rare winter visitor in 
stormy weather. J. Hancock says: ‘‘ Many years ago I found a 
specimen washed up on Whitley Sands.”” This was probably 
about 1842. Another was shot by Mr. J. Duncan at the mouth 
of the Tyne in 1895. 
In addition to the gentlemen mentioned in the Introduction, 
I have also to thank E. Leonard Gill, Esq., Curator of the 
Hancock Museum, Newcastle-on-Tyne, for some notes with 
respect to the geology of the district ; and specially T. H. Nelson, 
Hsq., of Redcar (author of the ‘ Birds of Yorkshire’), for reading 
through some of the MS. and advising me on certain points. 
(An ‘‘ Addenda et Corrigenda”’ will follow.)
