Notice of Birds observed in the Island of Heligoland. 83 



rare bird in England, only a very few instances of its occurrence being 

 on record.] " I have added these few observations, as they perhaps may 

 interest your ornithological friends. For the same purpose I have en- 

 closed a catalogue of the birds that have, according to my observations, 

 visited this island during the last fifteen years. If the small area of 

 this place (scarcely half a square mile English) is borne in mind, the 

 number of its feathered visitors will be admitted to be wonderful. As 

 this catalogue (including some 320 species) contains the names of several 

 specimens hitherto not known as European, it will, I trust, prove wel- 

 come to all who take an interest in the ornithology of our part of the 

 globe."
