Slu'ike-liko in fact. This was exiiibited, together with another 
immature bird obtained at Spurn, in Yorkshire, at the end of 
August, by Mr. Dresser, to the Zoological Society, iS'’ovembor 4th. 
The species is moreover new to the Norfolk list. 
September 5th. Wind W.N.W. and blowing fresh in early part 
of day. Eain often threatening, though none fell. From .5 to about 
8.30 a.m. occurred the passage of Waders previously referred to, 
over beach and sea, going duo west. Parties of Oystercatchers, 
Godwits, Eedshanks, Sanderlings, and Dunlins, passed in tolerably 
quick succession. In addition to these, we observed two Little and 
one Temrninck’s Stint and five Dotterel : the latter passing in shot 
of both of us, left four in our possession. These were all in sober 
autumnal plumage, one alone showing some rufous on lower part of 
breast and Hanks. Owing to accident, the bodies were not 
examined for sex. During the day, a flock of seventeen Sheldrakes 
seen, and an immature Greenshank obtained. Several Grey Plovers 
(the first seen) and perhaps a dozen Curlew Sandpipers noticed. 
A few Wheatears, one Eedstart, one Tree Pipit, and one Sedge 
Warbler, were all that remained in the sand-hills cover of the 
innumerable migrants present the day before. 
September 6th. Wind W. to S.W. (much rain). Fine early, 
blowing fresh from W. ; this backed to S.W. as the day wore on, 
accompanied by driving rain until night. Birds very scarce. Two 
Bartail Godwits seen, and one obtained. Turnstones still numerous. 
A Cormorant flew in over the harbour, and four large Geese passed 
seawards. The carefully searched bushes only contained two 
Eedstarts. 
September 7th. S.W. gale and rain continued until noon ; then 
with N. wind it cleared up. A solitary Swift passed south-east. 
September 8th. Wind strong AV.N.W., and fine throughout. 
A few Golden Plover and Knot passed west in early morning. 
An immature Black Tern shot on the beach and another seen. 
Curlew Sandpipers, Eedshanks, and Turnstones, fairly numerous ; 
but Dunlin and Eing Plover far from plentiful. In the scrub two 
or three Black-headed Buntings (the first noticed), many j\[eadow 
Pipits, and a solitary Bluotliroat, which was wounded and lost. A 
Nightjar along seawall at dusk. 
September 9th. Wind W. and driving rain greater part of day. 
A good many Eazorbills within short distance of shore. Whimbrel,
