Page 304. Hunt (John). For “ ob. 1842 ” read “ 1777-1842.” 
Line 9. After “ Long Island ” read “ He died there, according to a notice 
in the Norfolk Chronicle of July 9, 1842, on June 14, 1842, aged 
65 years.” 
In 1835 (or more probably in 1834) John Hunt addressed an open letter, 
dated New York, November 25, 1835, to his friend Mr. John Skippon of 
Orford Hill in Norwich. This was published in due course, and the title- 
page reads as follows : 
America | Copy of a letter | just received from | Mr. John Hunt | Late | 
one of the Mace officers in the | Corporation of Norwich | who 
migrated to America in August last ; | To His Friend | Mr. John 
Skippon, Orford Hill, | Giving an Account of | His voyage, the 
State of the Country | Prices of Provisions, House Kent, &c., 
And Many other interesting particulars | worthy of perusal. | 
1835. | Printed by John Judd Sharpe, St. George’s Colegate, 
| Norwich. | Price Two-Pence. 
Mr. George A. Stephen, the City Librarian of Norwich, to whom we are 
indebted for the above information, points out that 1835 is most probably 
a misprint for 1834, as J. Quinton in his Bibliotheca Norfolciensi s, citing 
the third edition of the Letter, gives the entry as follows : 
Hunt, John. Copy of a letter [dated New York, Nov. 25, 1834] just 
received from Mr. John Hunt, etc., 3rd ed., p. 12. Norwich, J. J. Sharpe, 
1835. “It is unlikely (writes Mr. Stephen) that a letter written on the 
25th of November 1835 could arrive in Norwich, and that three editions 
of it could be printed in 1835.” 
In the course of the letter Hunt says : “ We left England on the first 
of August, and arrived at New York on the twenty-first day of September.” 
Line 18. After “Norwich ” add : 
Cf. Stevenson’s Birds of Norfolk, vol. i. p. 294, for mention of Hunt’s 
residence at Rose Lane, Norwich. 
Line 20. After Memoir add [Trans. Norfolk and Norwich Nat. Society , 
vol. v. p. 158].

Birds, ii. pp. 72-82, 101-8.) 
1910. The Bird-Watcher’s Guide. {Op. cit. iv. pp. 8-13.) 
Page 348. Line 6 from bottom, for “ Fyle ” read “ Fylde.”
