logist, pp. 9091-9096, 9124-9131, 9230-9243, 9310-9321. 
This series of papers contains innumerable observations on the 
birds of the Shetlands ; and, as the author resides upon Unst, 
the most northern of the British Isles, he is very favourably 
situated for noticing tlie occurrence of foreign stragglers and 
the movements of inhabitants.

Two hundred and ninety-three species are included. But 
Norfolk has always had the reputation of being one of the richest 
ornithological districts in the United Kingdom. The list is 
little more than a nominal one, abbreviations being appended 
showing the character in which the birds appear. In the 
^ Zoologist ’ reprint, these abbreviations are expanded, and a few 
other alterations introduced (p. 9103).
