BRITISH BIRDS, 
251 
of one which was fhot at Sandwich, in Kent, in a 
ftorm of wind, among a flock of Hoopoes, in the ^ 
month of January,— of another fhot at Waltham- 
fl:ow, in Eflex, — and of a third which was killed 
near Oxford. The late M. Tunftal, Efq. of Wy- 
clifle, had one fent to him, which was fhot near 
Bakewell, in Derbyfliire ; and the fpecimen from 
which the above figure and defcription were taken, 
was found dead in a field near Ripon, inYorkfliire, 
and obligingly fent to the author by Lieutenant- 
Colonel Dalton, late of the 4th Dragoons. It is 
probable that ficknefs, or the extreme violence of 
fome hurricane had driven thefe birds fo far from 
their natural element.
