NOTES on YORKSHIRE BIRDS. 



Hawfinch at Huddersfield. — On 16th July last Mr. Francis Bower, 

 son of the Vicar of this parish, sent to me (alive) a Hawfinch [Coccothraustes 

 coccothraustes),, which had just been caught in the village schoolroom. As 

 the bird was apparently a young one, it had in all probability been bred 

 in the district. — Geo. T. Porritt, Crosland Hall, near Huddersfield, 19th 

 September 1901. 



Hawfinch at Sedbergh. — On the 19th of September, noticing a strange 

 bird in one of the trees at Akay, and being unable to identify same, my son 

 shot it, when it proved to be a Hawfinch {Coccothraustes coccothraustes). As 

 this is the first instance of a specimen of this bird being seen at Sedbergh, 

 I thought it might be worth notifying. — C. E. Taylor, Akay, Sedbergh, 

 Yorkshire, 17th October 1901. 



Great Spotted Woodpecker Nesting in Mean wood Wood, Leeds. 



— On 20th June this year, while examining a hole in a stunted Mountain 

 Ash, a man who has a garden bordering on this wood approached me and, 

 after a little conversation, I told him what I thought the hole in the tree 

 was. I was pleased to hear that last year he watched what he described 

 as a bird about the size of a Chaffinch, but spotted, feed its young-. It 

 would cling- to the tree, when out peeped the young- birds to be fed ; he had 

 seen this on several occasions. The chipping-s on and about the tree were 

 new, but as I did not care to disturb the home of this bird by cutting my 

 way in, I left it, and shall, all being well, pay a visit another season. No 

 doubt the bird was Dendrocopus major. — Thos. Raine, Woodland View, 

 Chapel-Allerton, Leeds, 25th September 1901.

This is another of the' excellent Natural Science Manuals emanating 

 from the Cambridge University Press, and though aiming more especially 

 to be of service to those who have had no previous zoological training-, the 

 book will be found to be of immense value even to the more advanced and 

 expert student, the facts of structure, development, and modern classification 

 of the various phyla of the animal kingdom being fully illustrated in the text 

 by tabular exposition and about 350 large and clearly-engraved woodcuts, 

 and explained in a terse, forcible, and attractive style in the text which 

 keeps alive the keen interest of the reader. The book is beautifully printed 

 and the binding is in the same good taste that has distinguished the previous 

 volumes of the Cambridge Natural Science Manuals. — T.
