having been seen repeatedly daring the summer, on the margin of 
a pond, at Cawston, near Aylsham (see ‘Zoologist,’ 1880, jr. 404). 
A further search on the 4th of August was equally unsuccessful, 
and he is inclined to believe that the birds did not nest there after 
all. A bird of this species was brought to a Norwich birdstuffer 
about the first week in August, and several appeared at Yarmouth 
about the same time, with Turnstones and Little Stints (one 
obtained in full summer plumage), and Pigmy Curlews. Mr. 
G. Smith, of Yarmouth, states that, according to his observation, 
the latter species retains its summer dress later than either Knots or 
GodAvits. On the 19th of August, four small Sandpipers, supposed 
to be Tot anus hijpoleucius rvere seen flying to and fro over the 
Antingham ponds near Cromer. 
Early in September, Greenshanks, Bar-tailed God wits, and Knots 
appeared on Breydon. About the middle of the month, also, 
a Euflf, two Oyster-catchers, a Greenshank, Sanderlings and Knots 
(both reddish and grey), Avere obtained in the same locality. 
A Little Stint, in full AA’inter dress, Avas shot at Blakeney on the 
17th. On the 27th of October a Green Sandpiper and some 
Sanderlings Avere seen at CTey, and about the second Aveek in 
November tAvo Purple Sandpipers Avere shot at the same ifiace. 
Another example of this Sandpiper Avas killed on Yarmouth beach 
on the 3rd of December.
