BARE BIRDS IN CORNWALL. 287 



November, 1896, by E. Vingoe, and at Swanpool in November, 

 1904. Two examples of the Ivory Gull were obtained in 

 February, 1847 (Eodd, Zool. 1847, p. 1699), and two were seen 

 and one shot in Hayle estuary on the 24th January, 1907, by 

 L. Williams. The specimen obtained is an adult male in good 

 condition. 



A Black Guillemot, one of the rarest casuals in Cornwall, 

 was picked up dead near the St. Anthony Lighthouse, Falmouth, 

 on the 12th March, 1905, during very stormy weather. A 

 Sooty Shearwater was shot near Looe on the 21st August, 1899, 

 and stuffed by John Ough, of Liskeard. The bird was seen 

 and identified by the writer, but the captor's name was not 

 ascertained.
