Catalogue of 
Family- -GL AREOLID^. 
Gen. CURSOXIZUS, Lath. 
Ca europaeuSi Lath., Cream-coloured Courser. 
An interesting account of the observance of this very rare 
species will be found in the Zoologist for 1860, p. 6980, by Mr. 
Matthews. A pair were seen by this gentleman on Braunton Bur- 
rows, North Devon ; both escaped his gun, but Dr. Scott, of Exeter, 
has informed me that a Courser, no doubt one of these, was 
shortly afterwards killed in Somersetshire. 
Gen. G-ZiAXtEOXiA, Briss. 
G-. pratincolaj Linn., Pratincole. 
Two were seen at the mouth of the Exe, September 7th, 1851,

on the Warren Sands, near Exmouth.
