‘THE BIRDS OF DEVON.’ 5 
and the Sooty Shearwater are more correctly “ accidental ” 
than “ casual visitors”? according to our definitions. 
The rare birds that have been noted afford further proof of the 
attractions offered by Devonshire to migrants, and of its being 
directly in the track of many wanderers. The chief of them, 
besides those already mentioned, are the Woodchat, Lesser Grey 
Shrike, Black Stork (?), Whooper, Gadwall, Lider, Little 
Bustard, Sabine’s Gull, and Iceland Gull. The stragglers from 
America have received an addition through a second American 
Stint. 
In the revised Table we subjoin we have brought the lists 
in all the four S.W. Peninsular Counties up to the most recent 
information in our possession. Nine species have been added to 
the Somersetshire, two to the Devonshire, two to the Dorsetshire, 
and one to the Cornish Lists since the publication of our book. 
The total number of species that have occurred in the S.W. 
Peninsula amounts to 323 (exclusive of doubtful occurrences) ; 
the total number of British Birds as given by Mr. Howard 
Saunders in his ‘ Manual’ being 368.
