Roughlegged Buzzard. December, 1850. Arundel. 

 Kite. Male, 1851. 



Peregrine Falcon. Male, 1850 ; Female, September, 1853, taken 

 on the rigging of a vessel off Shoreham. 

 Marsh Harrier. June 14, 1854. 



Hen Harrier. Male, autumn, 1853 ; female, autumn, 1854. 

 Great Gray Shrike. Male, July, 1853. 



Pied Flycatcher. Spring, 1853 ; male and female, spring, 1854, not 

 perfect plumage ; spring, 1855, male in full plumage : April 29, 1856, 

 three young males, one old female ; male, April, 1858. 



Hoopoe. Specimens are met with annually. In April, 1855, seven 

 were brought to Worthing, besides several others that occurred in 

 other parts of the county of Sussex. It has been obtained in the imma- 

 ture plumage of a bird of the year. This would suggest the probability 

 of its having been reared in the neighbourhood. 



Wax wing. Male, January 7, 1852. 



Lesser Spotted Woodpecker. Male and female, April, 1855 ; and 

 a male March 1, 1859. 



Whitewinged Wagtail. Generally occurs in the course of the year; 

 a specimen has been taken this spring. 



Grayheaded Wagtail. A most magnificent male of this rare species 

 was taken in April, 1855, and is now in the possession, I believe, of 

 Colonel Carr Llovd, of Lancing. The head and nape are of a beautiful 

 blue gray, and the difference of colour between those parts and the 

 back is most marked. A female was obtained in April, 1856, but its 

 similarity to the female of the common yellow wagtail is so great that 

 I am led to doubt its identity with the rarer species ; the bird is in my 

 own collection. 



Shorttoed Lark. Caught at Brighton. I am assured by Mr. Wells, 

 who saw and examined the bird, that it could not be mistaken for any 

 other member of the family. 



Snow Bunting. Male, June 7, 1854. 



Ortolan Bunting. A male was taken on the beach, close to the town, 

 in May, 1853. 



Rosecoloured Pastor. August, 1855, and July 31, 1856. 

 Golden Oriole. Young, summer, 1852. 



Bluethroated Warbler. April, 1853 ; a male was seen in April, last 

 year. 



Black Redstart. Males and females have been met with occasion- 

 ally, in winter, for the last six years, and doubtless also before the 

 commencement of that period.
