ber 2ist. 
* Black Brent ( Bernicla nigricans). 
On the authority of Mr. F. Coburn of Birmingham an adult 
male of this American species was shot near Lynn by a 
wildfowler named Richardson, and a second example, an 
adult female, by the same person on 15th January, 1907. 
A photograph of the latter specimen appeared in the 
‘ Zoologist ’ for April, 1908, p. 21. 
f Red-crested Pochard. 
A flock of thirteen of these birds visited Breydon on 
September 4th, 1906 ; all are believed to have been killed 
between that date and 12th September. A male was also 
killed, Potter Heigham, on 23rd October, 1906. 
Nyroca Duck (Fulgula nyroca). 
In January, 1906, two of these birds were killed in Norfolk,

seen by Rev. M. C. H. Bird on Hickling Broad on 27th Decem- 
ber, 1907.

A flock of about twenty of these birds is said to have been 
seen in the Broad district on nth June, and ten supposed to 
have belonged to the same flock at Somerton on 17th June, 
1906. None were killed, but the observers in both cases were 
familiar with the appearance of these birds in 1888. In 
1908 two were seen on Brancaster golf-links on June 28th, 
and a flock about the end of May at Blakeney.
