28. * Globicephalus melas (Trail). Pilot Whale. 
A female, washed on shore near Mundesley, on 29th January, 
1879. 
29. PiiociENA COMMUNIS (F. Cuv.). Poi’polse. 
Two foetal young ones were taken from a Porpoise, caught at 
Yarmouth, on 7th December, 1881. 
30. Delphinus albirostris (Gray). White-beaked Dolphin. 
This species, which was first recorded from Norfolk in 1845, has 
since occurred on our coast in April, 1866; March, 1876 ; 
August, 1879 ; March, 1880; and September, 1881. The latter, a 
very young one, with the umbilical cord still attached. This 
species seems much more frequent than Avas formerly supposed, 
probably having been overlooked. The Yarmouth fishermen assure 
me it is Avell known to them, and all apply to it the name of 
“Scoulter.” Certainly the Porpoise is not so called by them, but 
it is quite possible that this name is also applied to D. tursio, and 
it may be some other species also. It is exceedingly difficult to 
obtain precise information on such points from the fishermen 
unless the specimens are actually before them. 
Order EODENTDE. 
Fain. SciURiD/E. 
31. SciURUS VULGARIS (Liuii.). Squirrel. 
The appetite of the Squirrel is almost omniAmrous. It has been 
seen to eat the young bird from a nearly hatched egg. It is not 
surprising, therefore, that Fungi, from their nitrogenous nature, 
should be faAmurite morsels Avith them. Mr. J. H. Gurney, Jun., 
has seen them eating Oak-apples, or it may be breaking them up in 
search of the larvrn Avhich they contain, and Mr. Durnford 
(‘Zoologist,’ S. S., p. 3272) states that it takes to the Avater readily, 
and SAvims Avith ease. 
Fain. Myoxida:. 
32. * Muscardinus avellanarius (Linn.). Dormouse. 
The only evidence of the existence of this species in Norfolk till 
quite recently, with Avhich I Avas acquainted, Avas of a rather ancient
