Bartailed Godwit. (_Limosa rufa_, Briss.) Mr. Hart had two pair brought to him from the Mudeford Marsh, in the summer of 1861. Ruff. (_Machetes pugnax_, Cuv.) A specimen is now and then killed. Great Snipe. (_Scolopax major_, Gmel.) Generally one or two may be seen in the Forest every winter. Mr. Cooper, the Forest keeper, to whom I have previously referred, tells me that during the last twenty years he has shot some six or seven specimens, and has seen as many more killed. Sabine’s Snipe. (_Scolopax Sabini_, Vigors.) _See_ Common Snipe (_Scolopax gallinago_), in the list of residents, p. 309. Curlew Sandpiper. (_Tringa subarquata_, Tem.) Little Stint. (_Tringa minuta_, Leisl.) Like the preceding, not so very unfrequent along the coast. Purple Sandpiper. (_Tringa maritima_, Brün.) Occasionally seen in Christchurch Harbour. Spotted Crake. (_Gallinula porzana_, Lath.) Has been seen both in winter and summer; and I should not be surprised to hear of its breeding. Baillon’s Crake. (_Gallinula Baillonii_, Tem.) A female was shot near Linwood, in the Forest, Nov., 1860. Grey Phalarope. (_Phalaropus platyrhyncus_, Tem.) Mr. Rake informs me that several specimens were killed on the Avon in the severe winter of 1855-6, and again in 1860-1. Mr. Tanner has a pair in his collection, shot in the mouth of Christchurch Harbour in summer plumage. Whitefronted Goose. (_Anser albifrons_, Bechst.) Bernacle Goose. (_Anser leucopsis_, Bechst.) From Mr. Hart I learn that a pair were killed some years ago between Christchurch and Barton. Ægyptian Goose. (_Anser Ægyptiacus_, Jenyns.) From Mr. Rake I learn that a specimen was killed on the Avon, near Bicton Mill, February, 1855. Bewick’s Swan. (_Cygnus minor_, Keys and Bl.) Shoveller. (_Anas clypeata_, Lin.) Mr. Rake, in his manuscript notes, which he so kindly put in my hands, mentions that this and the gadwall and Bewick’s swan, were killed on the Avon during the hard winter of 1855. Gadwall. (_Anas strepera_, Lin.) Garganey. (_Anas querquedula_, Lin.) Eider Duck. (_Anas mollissima_, Lin.) Velvet Scoter. (_Anas fusca_, Lin.) Sometimes shot by the Mudeford fishermen, but always outside the bar of the harbour. Long-tailed Duck. (_Anas glacialis_, Lin.) Golden Eye. (_Anas clangula_, Lin.) Smew. (_Mergus albellus_, Lin.) Seen, like the two previous, during hard winters on the Avon. Mr. Rake notes that one was killed at Breamore, Nov., 1855; and Mr. Hart writes that he once saw a person kill two at one shot in Christchurch Harbour. Goosander. (_Mergus merganser_, Lin.) Rather rare. Mr. Rake, however, informs me that one male and two or three females were killed near Fordingbridge in the winter of 1855. Red-necked Grebe. (_Podiceps ruficollis_, Lath.) Rather rare. Sclavonian Grebe. (_Podiceps cornutus_, Lath.) Very rare. Mr. Hart has never known an instance of one being killed, though he has received a specimen or two from the Dorsetshire coast.
