622 MIGRATION AND OTHER ORNITHOLOGICAL NOTES. 
moving south along the coast, just outside the breakers, at 
Yarmouth, here, and Aldeburgh. In this movement the follow- 
ing species were involved : Brent, Shelduck, Pochard, Dunlin, 
Sanderling, Knot, Redshank, Oyster-catcher, Turnstone, Curlew, 
Golden Plover, Wigeon, Tufted Ducks and Gulls. Larks were 
coming in from the east on the 18th, and Redwings moving 
south. Snow fell on the night of the 17th, but thaw came the 
next day. This spell of cold weather, and the snow and cold 
of February 2nd — 5th, also accounted for such weather visitors 
as Little Auk, Slavonian Grebe and Scaup-ducks in unusual 
numbers. 
My best thanks are due to Mr. Cook, of Lowestoft, for many 
valuable notes, and to Messrs. Patterson and Quinton, of 
Yarmouth, and to Mr. Mant, of Lowestoft, for several interest- 
ing records.

TOPOGRAPHICAL NOTES ON SOME RARER 
NORFOLK PLANTS. 
By W. H. Burrell, F.L.S., and W. G. Clarke. 
During the past three or four years we have visited eighty 
per cent, of the common lands of Norfolk. This includes most 
of the larger areas, as the commons not yet examined total but 
five per cent, of the 11,300 (approximately) acres of common 
lands accessible to the public in the County. So far as the 
time at our disposal would permit, we made an examination of 
the flora, and found that some of the heaths and swamps were 
rich in rarities, which happily persist in these wild tracts, but 
have disappeared in the more fertile parts of Norfolk owing 
to cultivation and drainage. Cycling tours from Norwich into 
West Norfolk, in the Julys of 1911 and 1912, gave us most of 
the following records ; and brief excursions into the “ breck ” 
area of North-West Suffolk those which are indicated by (S). 
In selecting plants which we considered worthy of note, we 
bore in mind their comparative rarity in Norfolk only ; but 
British localities of certain of the Germanic plants are given
