46 MR. SOUTHWELL ON ADDITIONS TO THE NORWICH CASTLE-MUSEUM. 
Star,” on the East Coast of Greenland in June, 1898. Until the 
past few years, when the exceptional condition of the ice in the 
Polar Seas has rendered the approach to the Greenland Coast 
possible, very few of these animals have been obtained, and they 
were rarely to he met with in Museums. The British Museum has 
some fine examples brought from Grinnell Land by Colonel Feilden, 
otherwise they are badly represented. Our specimen is the head of 
a young male not quite mature. 
In British Ornithology we have received a good specimen of 
the variety of the Common Partridge known as Perdix montcina, 
distinguished by the prevalence of rich brown colour, and the 
absence of the horse-shoe patch on the breast, several examples 
of this variety have been killed in Norfolk. A young Montagu’s 
Harrier, taken from a nest at Preethorpe in July, 1875, has also 
been received, and the Marchioness of Lothian has been good 
enough to send us a fine example of a Hybrid between the 
guinea-fowl and a domestic fowl. I would also draw attention 
to a new case of Rooks, with their nests, eggs, and young, in the 
corridor leading to the British Bird Room. 
Mr. Gurney has been kind enough to furnish me with the 
following notes on the additions to the Birds of Prey : —
