FAUNA AND FLORA OF NORFOLK : BIRDS. 
Iceland Gull ( Larus leucopterus). 
A young bird was shot at Yarmouth, on December 6th, 1892, 
and another at Scratby on the 28th of the same month. I am 
indebted to Mr. Smith and Mr. Lowne for an opportunity of 
measuring these birds, which have been often confounded with 
small Glaucous Gulls. Another was shot at Harwich, and still 
another at Flamborough. Mr. Southwell has lately examined 
a young Iceland Gull in the Dennis collection at Bury, which 
there is every reason to believe was shot at Yarmouth in 1848, and 
therefore the first known Norfolk specimen. — G. 
Greater Shearwater (Puffinus major). 
On December 22nd, 1892, a Greater Shearwater was picked up 
at Caister, and brought to Mr. Smith ; it is a very fine specimen, 
dark above and pure white beneath. — G. 
Fork-tailed Petrel ( Oceanodroma leucorrhoa). 
A Fork-tailed Petrel, in the possession of Mr. B. Dye, killed 
near the North Battery, Great Yarmouth, on the 6th January, 
1891, was received by him in the flesh that day. 
Black Guillemot ( Una grylle). 
A young bird was picked up alive at Cromer, on the shore, in 
1892, and another, also alive, on November 23rd, 1893. The 
Rev. Julian Tuck also received what he believes to be an adult 
from Hunstanton, which was killed there on the 8th of January, 
1894. 
Eared Grebe ( Podicipes nigricollis). 
An example, still in summer plumage, was shot at Salthouse, on 
21st August, 1888 ; another was seen on Rockland Broad, by 
Messrs. Edward and W. H. Bidwcll, on July 28th, 1892. 
Night Heron ( Nycticorax griseus). 
A specimen in immature plumage, killed at Weybourne, about 
first Aveek in July, 1887. On the 30th June a pair had been 
liberated by Lord Lilford, at Lilford Hall, and it is possible that 
one of these may have wandered to Weybourne. 
Little Bittern ( Ardelt.a minuta). 
A Little Bittern was shot at Bun ham, near Yarmouth, on 10th 
October, 1889. On the 3rd July, 1893, two males in full plumage
