FIELD NOTES. 



BIRDS. 



Honey Buzzard in Lincolnshire. — A Honey Buzzard was 

 shot at Fishtoft, near Boston, on 27th September 1904 by Mr. 

 A. Grant. It is being- stuffed by Mr. Freeman, taxidermist, of 

 Boston. The shooter fired at such close quarters that the bird's 

 head was almost too shattered to stuff. — J. Conway Walters,

ORTHOPTERA. 



Panchlora exoleta Klug^. in West Yorkshire.— I have 

 recently determined the pretty green Cockroach broug^ht to me 

 by Mr. J. W. Carter from Bradford at the beginning- of this 

 year (see 'The Naturalist,' March 1904, p. 94). It is Pa7ichlora 

 exoleta, and according to Brunner is a native of Brazil, Jamaica, 

 Venezuela, Vera Cruz, and Surinam. Mr. Fred Lawton has 

 just recently captured another specimen at Skelmanthorpe 

 'flying about in the road.' Dr. Eland Shaw had recorded two 

 specimens prior to Mr. Carter's capture, one in Leicestershire, 

 the other in Scotland, and these four are, so far as I know, all 

 that have yet been recorded in Britain. They have, of course,
