GUNN : NORFOLK ENTOMOLOGY. 



109 



were alive. I counted as many as eight that measured as much as two inches 

 in length, they had all firmly fixed themselves to the inner membrane of the 

 stomach, and were with great difiiculty removed without injury. 



Great Blackbacked Gull. An adult male was obtained somewhere 

 on OUT coast about the 15th of September. Contents of stomach, remains of 

 an eel, some pieces of tallow, and a mixture of matter consisting of fish- 

 bones, seaweed and a muddy substance. 



Lesser Blackbacked Gull. Two immature specimens occurred, one on 

 the 1st and the other on the 17th of October, the stomach of one 1 ex- 

 amined contained only a few fish, and some of its own feathers. 



VAEIETIES. 



Blackbird. A piebald example a male at Shotisham, October 1 9th. 



Skylark. A beautiful pure white variety, a female, was shot on the 

 28th of October, at Sizeland, near Loddon. Its eyes were of the usual hue 

 of ordinary birds, which is I think rather singular, as all previous white varie- 

 ties of bhds that have passed within my notice had either pink or red eyes. 



Sparrow. October 5th, a well marked piebald specimen. 



Green Linnet. A beautiful specimen, a female, was sent me on the 5th 

 October. It was killed a short time previously by Mr. Coleman, at Bloefield ; 

 its entire plumage was white, slightly tinged with pale greenish yellow on 

 its back, upper wing coverts, and breast. I exhibited this specimen at a 

 meeting of the l^orwich ^Naturalists' Society. See Naturalist vol. iii. page 97.
