that town, who stated that he had received it with other Terns, 
early in October, 1890, from the neighbourhood of Dersingham, 
between Lynn and Hunstanton, hut was not aware until informed 
by Mr. Tuck that he possessed such a rarity. The latter 
gentleman’s determination of the species was confirmed by 
Mr. Harting. Mr. Howlett tells me that this bird has passed into

Fork-Tailed Petrel ( Procellaria leucorrhoa). Although not 
an excessively rare bird with us, the Fork-tailed Petrel is quite 
sufficiently so to render its occurrence worthy of record, and I was 
very pleased to receive a specimen in the flesh from Mr. B. Dye, 
of Great Yarmouth, who was kind enough to send it for my 
inspection. It was killed near the North Battery, on the 6th 
January, 1891. A list of all the Norfolk examples of this bird 
with which I am acquainted will be found in the ‘ Birds of 
Norfolk,’ vol. iii. p. 370.

in the death of its respected President, Mr. J. H. Gurney. For 
how long a time the Museum has been indebted to Mr. Gurney, 
and to what extent, I cannot do better than quote the following
