FAUNA AND FLORA OF NORFOLK : BIRDS. 
L/EM ARGUS BOREALIS. 
“ A Greenland Shark, 15 feet long was captured in shallow 
water off Caistor, Great Yarmouth, on November 11th, 1885. It 
was afterwards exhibited at Yarmouth. On January 21st, 1892, 
another, 13 ft. 2 in. long, was captured by some Lynn fishermen 
and landed at the Purfleet Quay; and on July 12th of the same 
year, the Overstrand fishermen captured yet another, which had 
got into shallow water. This last measured 10 feet in length, 
and I believe was purchased for the Hon. VY. Eothschild’s 
Tring Museum.” — T. S.

The second section of our List of the Birds found in Norfolk 
was presented to the Society in February, 1887, in the follow- 
ing supplement we have only enumerated those species which 
are either new to the County or from their rarity are deserving of 
special mention, and can be added, if thought desirable, in MS. to 
the former list. There are a few species, such as the Eussian 
Bullfinch and Scarlet Grosbeak, which have been met with 
apparently in a wild state, but which we have not thought it advis- 
able to include, on the other hand, owing to the careful supervision 
exercised in preparing our previous list, we have not found it 
necessary to omit any species therein enumerated,* the addition, 
* We should mention, however, that in the light of Mr. Dresser’s article 
on “ Lanius euccvhitor and its Allies” (see ‘Ibis’ for 1892, p. 374), we do not 
feel justified in retaining Pallas’s Lanins major, but as this variety was 
not numbered consecutively in the List, its removal does not affect the 
total number of species claimed as having been procured in this County.
