FAUNA AND FLORA OF NORFOLK : MAMMALIA. 
Martes sylvatica. Marten. 
Mr. W. G. Clarke mentions (Trans, vol. vi. p. 304) on the 
authority of Mr. W. IT. Tuck, a Marten preserved at liiddlesworth 
Hall, which was trapped in Blackwater Carr, which has not, that 
I am aware of, been recorded. No date is given. 
Mf.Les taxus. Badger. 
Mr. Clarke (/. c. p. 305) also mentions that a Badger which was 
suckling two young ones, was trapped at West Wretham, in the 
latter end of April, 1895. 
* Monodon monoceros. Narwhal. 
Mr. Miller Christy gives an interesting account of the finding of 
what must undoubtedly have been a Narwhal, on the coast of 
Norfolk, so long ago as the year 1588. The mention is to he 
found in “ Purchas his Pilgrimage,” most fully related in the 
2nd Edit. (Lond. fo. 1 G 1 4) p. 739. Mr. Christy’s paper is in 
the present volume of our ‘ Transactions,’ p. 204. 
Orca gladiator. Grampus. 
Two very juvenile examples of this Cetacean were taken on the 
Norfolk coast on November 13th and 19th respectively, 1894. 
The fact is of interest as showing the season at which this animal 
reproduces, and the occurrence of two individuals, so nearly of the 
same age, Would seem to indicate that the Grampus occasionally 
produces two young at a birth, an occurrence by no means frequent 
with the Cetacea ( ante p. 58). 
Mus rattus. Black Eat. 
Mr. Patterson has called attention to the presence of this animal 
in considerable numbers in certain localities in Great Yarmouth. 
He has found no difficulty in securing all that he required. He 
first discovered it early in 1896, and tells me that it still exists in 
undiminished numbers
