p. 433). Three others have been since procured at Yarmouth, one 
on the 9th September, 1890, and two on the 12th and 13th of the 
same month (‘Zoologist,’ 1891, p. 13G, also Trans. Norfolk and 
Norwich Nat. Soc. vol. v. p. 203). 
Siberian Pectoral Sandpiper ( Triruja acuminata , Horsfield) 
On the 29th August, 1892, an example of this interesting bird 
was shot on Breydon, by Mr. T. Ground, of Birmingham, in whose 
possession it now is; it proved to be a female by dissection, and 
probably adult. Another specimen of this bird, which there is 
every reason to believe was killed near Yarmouth, in September, 
1848, was found in the Norwich Museum, labelled Triwja maculata 
(see Trans. Norfolk and Norwich Nat. Soc. vol. v. p. 3G4). — S. 
Whiskered Tern ( Hi/droclieliilun hytrri'la). 
The Rev. J. G. Tuck observed a bird of this species in the shop 
of Mr. Howlett, of Newmarket, who stated that ho had secured it 
with other birds from the neighbourhood of Dersingham, where it 
was killed about 10th October, 1890. Mr. Harting confirmed 
Mr. Tuck’s identification. The bird was purchased by Hon. W. 
Rothschild, for the Tring Museum. This species has only been 
known to occur in Norfolk on one previous occasion. 
Sandwich Tern ( Sterna cantiaca). 
Four of these birds were obtained at Cley and a fifth at 
Yarmouth, all in the month of October, 1891. Mr. Pashley 
informs us that seventeen of these birds were obtained at Cley, all 
in September, 1S93. Two pail's are believed to have bred there 
(‘Zoologist,’ 1894, p. 8S). 
Sabine’s Gull (Xema sabinii). 
A young male, quite immature, was shot at Hickling, while 
consorting with Lapwings, on 6th October, 1889. Colonel Feilden 
also records in the ‘ Zoologist,’ for 1892, p. 423, the capture of an 
immature female of this species, on the 16th October, 1892, in the 
shore nets at Wells. 
Tuttle Gull (Lams minutus). 
On the 2nd April, 1888, a Little Gull, with pure black head, 
and in very lovely plumage, was shot at Hickling (‘ Zoologist,’ 1889, 
p. 1G). It is now in Mr. Connop’s collection.
