Pollard (Evelyn H ), viv. 
We find nothing else ornithological by this lady than 
the nndernoted book. The parish alluded to is that of 
Haynford, Norfolk, and the work is merely one of a discursive 
and anecdotal character.

Polwhele (Richard), 1760-1838 
Richard Polwhele of Polwhele was a native of Cornwall. 
He was born at Truro, January 6, 1760, and died there March 
12, 1838, He was at one time curate of Littleham-cum- 
Exmouth, and also of Kenton, where he resided for ten years, 
and where he wrote most of his History of Devonshire. Later 
he was vicar of Manaccan, 1794-1 821 . He can hardly be con- 
sidered an ornithologist, and the chapter he devoted to 
Devonshire birds in his history was mainly compiled from 
information supplied by his friends Sir William Elford of 
Bickham, Mr. Perring of Rockford, and Dr. Tripe of Ashburton 
{cf. D’Urban and Mathew, Intro, p. Ixxx).
