82 MR. F. D. PALMER ON OLD-TIME YARMOUTH NATURALISTS. 
we have the evidence of Messrs. Paget in 1834, that Youell, who 
was a nurseryman, near the North Gate, had known six or seven 
Night-Herons to have been killed in that locality at different times. 
Again, on the 24th of May, 1824, from one of his fruit trees near 
there, was shot the memorable specimen which, first recorded by him 
in the Linnean Society’s ‘ Transactions ’ (vol. xiv. p. 588) as the 
Cayenne Night-Heron ( Ardea cayennen-sis, Linn.), was, as such, 
included by Selby in his ‘ Illustrations of British Ornithology,’ an 
error subsequently corrected, the bird being in Mr. Gurney’scollection. 
I find no other record of what became of Youell’s collection. 
Frederick Frere. — This gentleman, the eldest son of the 
Rev. E. B. Frere, was born in the house still occupied by the 
family in King Street; was a well-known sportsman and naturalist, 
who is recorded, among other doings, to have noted, on Breydon, 
the decrease of the Kentish Plover, although scarcely a year passes 
without one or more examples being still obtained in that neigh- 
bourhood, either in spring or autumn. Frere died some few years 
since, but did not, so far as I know, leave any collection. 
Henry Teasdel, Jun., born in 1828, eldest son of Henry 
Teasdel, Mayor of Yarmouth 1873 — 4, died in 1888. He was 
well known in the town, both for his artistic tastes and for the 
great interest be took in Natural History. He made a good 
collection of British Butterflies and Moths, as well as collections 
of local Birds and British Birds’ Eggs. The latter has been pre- 
sented to the Yarmouth Museum by his son, Mr. It. H. Teasdel, 
a member of our Society, who has kindly contributed this note. 
Lucia, in his earlier life, was a well-known grocer and Liberal 
politician, whose shop was opposite the eastern end of Kegent 
Street. His was a well-known figure on our beach in the fifties, 
where, gun in hand, he used to be a terror to the Gulls ; these, 
of which he made a very excellent collection, his widow tells 
me, were dispersed on his leaving Yarmouth, but that some 
of them were then secured for the Norwich Museum. I have 
the same authority for stating that he never wrote anything upon 
his favourite study. 
John G. Overend, also a grocer, his shop being in the Market 
Place ; but studying Natural History rather than his business
