Mr. O. V. Aplin, the author of the " Birds of Oxford-

Malmesbury's collection at Heron Court. 
Mr. Corbin has informed us, and also sent a note to 
the " Zoologist " to the same effect, that one was seen on 
several occasions in July, 1904, on an estate near Ringwood, 
where it evidently enjoyed the protection it deserved, as 
there was no news of its having been killed.
