100 THE ZOOLOGIST. 



5th. — Wind S.W. Lesser Tern, Swift, and some Snipe at 

 Hedgecourt Pond (C. H. B.). Whitethroat and Swifts in Bich- 

 mond Park. 



7th. — Sedge-Warbler in Eichmond Park (E. K. F.) ; also 

 heard at Oxted on the 5th (C. H. B.). 



8th.— Wood-Lark at Brook (G. D.). 



11th.— Wind S. Nightjar at Brook (G. D.). Early. 



13th. — Sand-Martins — which are exceptionally abundant 

 about Oxted, Godstone, and Limpsfield this summer — have 

 established new colonies on Limpsfield Common and near Bar- 

 row Green (C. H. B.) ; also in the sand-pits at Oxshott, where, as 

 far as I can see, they do not appear to have been molested very 

 much, in spite of the numerous picnic parties, " school-treats," 

 &c, which frequent this locality. Three pairs of Crested Grebes 

 at Virginia Water, and twenty — pairing — at Frensham, where 

 there were also a pair of Golden-eyes, an immature Blue-headed 

 Wagtail which showed a few brownish feathers on the breast, and 

 a Common Tern. This is very late to see adult Golden-eyes so 

 far south. 



14th.— Wind N.E . Eed-backed Shrike at Thursley (G. D .). 



20th. — Sparrow-Hawk's nest with six eggs in an unfrequented 

 larch-wood at Chart (C. H. B.). 



22nd. — Pair of Grey Wagtails at Oxted Mill ; also seen the 

 following day. Although this Wagtail is a regular winter visitor 

 to this neighbourhood, it has generally left by the first week in 

 April (C. H. B.). 



23rd.— Wind S.E. Corn-Crake at Oxted (C. H. B.). 



26th. — Drake Teal on Hampton Lodge Pond ; also seen on 

 the 28th. 



27th. — Hobby on Eoyal Common. I had a good view of this 

 bird as he flew hurriedly out of a beech quite close to where I 

 was standing. 



28th. — Chiff chaff's nest with eleven eggs at Brook (G. D.) ; 

 evidently the produce of two hens. 



29th. — Wood-Lark and Lesser Eedpolls building in the God- 

 aiming district. 



30th. — Hooded Crow found hanging on tree at Vachery Pond ; 

 it had been dead for at least three or four days. This is a very late 

 date. Lesser Whitethroats somewhat numerous near Cranleigh.
