Long-eared Owl, p. 127. — Gilbert White was cer- 
tainly acquainted with this bird, which he called " Our 
common Horned Owl." — Bell's Edition of White's Selborne. 
Vol. H., p. 9. 
Black-headed Gull, p. 334. — During the last few 
years the gulls have betaken themselves for nesting to a 
marshy spot on East Parley Common, called Whitemere, a 
short distance to the east of Parley Gibbet, and therefore 
just within the boundary of our county. They arrive there 
in April, and remain until July ; their numbers here have 
increased annually, so that, in 1905, they must have been 
there in thousands.
