writing to Kelsall from Dublin in March, 1889, says of this

An occasional visitor to the coast in winter. 
More states* that one was shot off Yarmouth in 
1853 or 1854, and came under the notice of the late

Mr. Hart's specimens were obtained near Christchurch 
on January i8th, 1862 ; December i6th, 1866 ; November 
13th, 1875 ; and December, 1891. 
Hadfield recorded an occurrence near Freshwater, in 
the Isle of Wight, in the autumn of 1 888.2 
The Charterhouse Museum contains an example from 
Portsmouth. 
Mr. Mansell-Pleydell 3 records one in the collection 
of Mr. Bury, of Branksome Tower, which was shot by 
him off Christchurch Beach. 
The specimen in the Winchester College collection 
is in adult summer plumage, and is dated " Southampton 
Water, 1888," but we are inclined to doubt the correctness 
of the locality, as specimens in this plumage would be 
extremely rare on our coasts, and Mr. Chalkley kindly 
tells us that he is now unable to find out when and where 
it was killed, the person who obtained it being dead.
