Obs. — Prof. Newton, in the 4th ed. of Yarrell’s Br. B., only mentions 
Nos. 1, 3, and 7 of the above instances, without referring to the others. 
It may be here mentioned, that Gray states, in his B. of W. of Scot., 
that some years ago the late Dr. Dewen of Glasgow, when crossing the 
Atlantic, observed a flock of these birds about 600 miles off Newfoundland, 
flying eastward before a stiff westerly breeze, ten or twelve of which were 
captured. Besides those noted above, Gould, in his B. of G. Br., re- 
cords the following, all of which may be regarded as very doubtful : — 
1. One, near Belfast. 1802. 
2. Four or five, near Thetford. 10 May, 1846. 
3. One at Bury St. Edmunds. 1846. 
4. One from a flock of five or six, Suffolk. ? 
To these may be added the following, concerning which great doubts of 
their authenticity exist: — 
1. One, mentioned by Pennant. ? 
2. One, near Northampton. Morris, Br. B., Ill, p. 350. 1848. 
3. One, near Ipswich. Morris, 1. c. ? 
4. Nine, Norfolk. Morris, 1. c. ? 
5. One, near Penzance. Morris, l. c. ? 
6. One, near London. Mitford, Zool., 1876, p. 4835. 1876. 
Heligoland. Obs. — A specimen which has been recorded by Herr 
Gatke, as obtained in Aug., 1844, has proved to be an error. G'atke, in 
lit., 25 May.
