time, writes to inform me that on tlie lOtli and lltli tbey were visited 

 by the sea swallow or tern (Sierna hirundo) playing over the lake and 

 diving for fish. 



We have herons on onr pools and streams ; we trust they will again 

 return to Walton, and form as noble a herony as that which is now a 

 thing of the past. 



We have reports of kingfishers, kestrels, sparrow-hawks, owls, 

 creepers, goldfinches, linnets, although sad havoc is made of them by 

 gun and snare. Bird-catchers think the linnets are not protected ; 

 they should be warned that they are in the Birds Protection Act 

 under the name of "redpole," also the goldfinch, kingfisher, nightin- 

 gale, and other feathered favourites.

Colias Edusa. — In Somersetshire, butterflies have been more plentiful 

 this season than for many years, Cynthia Cardui and Colms Edusa being 

 especially frequent. In a walk over the Mendip Hills on June 29th, 

 I saw about eight specimens of the latter insect. — H. F. Parsons^ 

 July 13th, 1877. 



Colias Edusa at Saltaire.— Mr. John Firth captured a fine female 

 specimen of this rather scarce butterfly, in a cornfield opposite Saltairs 

 Park, June 24th, 1876.— H.T.S.
