Solitary Snipe. Between the .3rd and 20th of September a 
rather unusual number of Snipes of this species, appeared in the

near Cromer, on the 18th, and another at Cley, about the same 
lino. m. A. Pattenson, of Yarmouth, found two of these to 
weigu / ozs. and 7} ozs. respectively, and a third reached 7.^ ozs • 
but ouo rocorfcl in tho •Fiehl' „f s„pta„be,- 2utb, us sllot 
Caidton Colville on the 17th, was said to have weighed 11 ozs. 
^vhlch being one ounce more than the heaviest bird that ever came 
under Mr. Lubbock’s notice, I should consider e.\tremely doubtful. 
th^-^O^U specimen was shot at Cley on 
Po-UATORHINE Sk'ua.s. Xot more than two or three of these 
bird.s, and m more or less immature plumage were, I understand

seen at Trimingham on the 20th.

which he shot one after another, the survivors rising and ali-htinc^ 
again at a short distance till the last was killed. °
