FAUNA AND FLORA OF NORFOLK : BIRDS. 
640 
were shot at Rollesby. They were discovered by the marsh 
mowers, but no nest was found. 
Black Stork ( Gicimia nigra). 
On the 23rd April, 1888, a nearly adult example was killed at 
Salthouse (‘Zoologist,’ 1889, p. 17). This bird is now in Mr. 
Gonnop’s collection. 
* Buddy Sheld-duck ( Tat lor na casarca). 
A young male, which had been shot, was washed ashore at 
Snettisham, on September 13th, 1802. Eighteen others were 
obtained on various parts of the British coast, which in the 
opinion of Mr. F. M. Ogilvie, who wrote a very good paper about 
them, probably came from Southern Russia, where it breeds. On 
August 24th, 1803, a female was shot at Salthouse, somewhat faded 
but not showing any ’signs of confinement, now in Mr. Connop’s 
collection. A good many of these ducks are said to be bred in 
confinement in Holland, and our principal dealers generally have 
them in stock, but all sold by Castang and Cross are bone-pinioned, 
as 1 am assured. — G. 
* King Eider ( Somatena spectabitis). 
Three undoubted examples of this bird have been procured in 
Norfolk, all at Hunstanton. The first, a young male, now in the 
Norwich Museum, was killed in the middle of January, 1888, and 
two others, both of which, through the kindness of Dr. Whitty, 
I had the opportunity of examining in the flesh, were killed in the 
same locality, one, a young female, on 3rd November, 1800, the 
other an adult female, on the 15th of the same month (see Trans. 
Norfolk and Norwich Nat. Soc. vol. v. p. 58). — S.
