ADDENDA. 
When compiling- my " List of ISirds which have been bred in ci nfmc- 
nicnt," which commenced on p. 57 of the 1918 vokime of Bird X iti;s, I 
overlooked altogether the numerous mentions of the l)recding of British 
Birds in Yarrell, or rather in THE Edition, the 4th of this work, tliat edited 
by Alfred Newton (vols, i and 2) and Howard Saunders (3 and 41. These 
records, with the authority of these two great ornithologists behii' 1 them, 
have a very special value, and to repair their omission from the 1 u eding 
list, I offer the following coUecta as an addendum to the list for thosi entries

WOOD PIGEON. 
Vol. iii. p. 3. Mr. R. Gray knew of only one instance of a Wood 
Pigeon breeding in confinement. 
" This was a female which .... paired with a 
bachelor Domestic Pigeon in a dovecote in the town of Cumnock. 
The pair had eggs three times, although only one young 1 ''rd was 
reared .... The late Mr. Thomas Allis .... and llie late 
Earl of Derljy, at Knowsley, were successful in inducing this sjiecies
