General Notes. 
line 20, for “Wexford” read “Mayo.” Also, in connection with my remarks 
on Wilson’s Petrel at page 218, line 29, Mr. Saunders has called my atten- 
tion to the occurrence, as recorded by him (Bull. Soc. zool. de France, 
1 877 , p. 205, and Zool. Record, 1877, Aves, p. 58), of a fine specimen of 
this species at Malaga, Spain, killed there on 7 August, 1873, and still in 
his possession. 
Professor Reinhardt, of Copenhagen, has sent me a paper by him in 
“ Meddelelser fra den Naturhistorische Forening i Kjobenhavn, 1881,” on 
the alleged occurrence as recorded by me at page 7 2, Vol. V of the Bulletin, 
of four specimens of the American White-winged Crossbill in Denmark 
(Nos. 1 to 4 of my List), in which he points out that my correspondent, 
Herr A. Benzon, had been in error in communicating them to me and 
that he appears to have confused them with L. bifasciata , the Russian and 
Siberian species, to which they doubtless belonged. He also states a 
doubt that exists whether the record of No. 2 does not rest on a confusion 
with No. 1 ; that Nos. 1 and 3 are still in the University Museum, Copen- 
hagen, but that No. 4 seems to have been lost many years ago. All four 
are thus to be deleted. 
Addenda. — To the record of Actiturus bartramius , p. 149, add : 
Great Britain. 7. One, a male, killed in Lincolnshire, purchased in 
Leadenhall market, and obtained in the flesh by Mr. J. E. Harting, who 
carefully enquired into and is satisfied of its authenticity as a British- 
killed specimen. Harting, Zool., 1880, p. 508. October, 1880. 
To the record of Numenius borealis (p. 210) add : 
Great Britain. 6. One, a male, Forest of Birse. Kincardineshire. Har- 
vie-Brown, Zool., 1880, p. 485. 21 Sep., 1880. 
I would desire, in conclusion, to point out that by removal from the 
list of the Cedar Bird (footnote, p. 141) and of the American Swan, (as to 
which latter McGillivray’s probable mistake, p. 212, was only pointed out 
to me by Professor Newton after the first part of the paper had appeared 
in the Bulletin,) the number of species of North American Birds now 
recorded as having visited Europe is reduced from sixty-nine, as mentioned 
in the introduction (Bull., V, p. 66),' to sixty-seven. 
I would only add that I shall still be glad to receive any further correc- 
tions or additions which may add to the accuracy and consequent value of 
the List. — J. J. Dalgleish, 8 Athole Crescent , Edinburgh , Scotland.
