C. grarrula* Linn., Roller. 
Having accidentally omitted the mention of this species in its 
proper place in the second Order Clamatores," I take an oppor- 
tmiity of now doing so before passing to the Columbae : it should 
follow (7. canorus,'' p. 55. The only specimen recorded as 
having been obtained in this county, was shot in September, 1841, 
at Budleigh Salterton. 
Ordee IV— COLUMB.^.

localities.

Sm paradOXUSf Pall, Pallas' Sand Grouse. 
Two specimens of this bird (the advent of which in such large 
numbers to our country has afforded so much speculation among 
ornithologists), were shot out of a flock of thirteen observed on 
Slapton Ley, near Kingsbridge, in June last.
