Curlew, an immature Ruff and two Reeves. On the 5th, fi'om 
Breydon, two Oystercatchers, Knot, Pigmy Curlew, and a Turn- 
stone. 
Crossbill. A male in red plumage shot at Braconash, near 
Korwich, on the 31st. 
Water-rail. These birds must have been exceptionally

from Yarmouth, and others had been supplied with them as well.
