Eared Grebe. (_Podiceps auritus_, Lath.) Rather rare, but occasionally killed by the Mudeford fishermen. Black-throated Diver. (_Colymbus arcticus_, Lin.) Occurs pretty plentifully during some winters along the coast. Little Auk. (_Uria alle_, Tem.) Found sometimes along the coast after a heavy storm. Caspian Tern. (_Sterna Caspia_, Pall.) On the authority of Mr. Hart one was shot, about ten years ago, in Christchurch Harbour. Common Tern. (_Sterna hirundo_, Lin.) This, with the next, is sometimes, after a heavy gale, picked up in an exhausted state. I saw one which had been thus caught near Fordingbridge in September, 1861. Artic Tern. (_Sterna arctica_, Flem.) Lesser Tern. (_Sterna minuta_, Lin.) Seen during a hard winter. Black Tern. (_Sterna nigra_, Briss.) A pair were, not long ago, shot by Mr. Charles Reeks, near the Old Bridge, Christchurch. Little Gull. (_Larus minutus_, Pall.) Mr. Rake informs me that a pair of these rare birds were killed near Breamore, in November, 1855. Glaucous Gull. (_Larus glaucus_, Brün.) A solitary specimen has, I believe, once been shot near Christchurch, by the Hon. Grantley Berkeley, in whose collection it is. Common Skua. (_Lestris catarractes_, Ill.) Occasionally killed flying round Christchurch Head. Fork-tailed Petrel. (_Thalassidroma Leachii_, Tem.) Mr. Rake informs me that a specimen was picked up dead, near Fordingbridge, November, 1859. Stormy Petrel. (_Thalassidroma pelagica_, Vigors.) Frequently picked up dead, or exhausted, along the coast, after severe weather, with the wind blowing from the west. Adopting Yarrell’s census, an analysis of these lists gives to the Forest district 72 out of the 140 British residents, 31 out of our 63 summer visitors, 35 winter visitors, and of rarer birds and stragglers, 90; or altogether, including the two birds of double passage, 230 species out of the whole 354. Since these lists were arranged, Mr. Rake sends me word, concerning the reed wren, that in the winter of 1858, a nest, evidently built the preceding summer, and exactly resembling that bird’s, was found in a thick bed of reeds on the bank of the Avon, near Fordingbridge, but he has never seen the birds or eggs from the neighbourhood. With regard to the kildeer plover, I may add that several persons saw it in the flesh, and that Mr. Tanner received it soon after it was mounted. My only surprise is with Dr. Sclater (see the _Ibis_ vol. iv., No. xv., p. 277), that a bird with so large a range of flight should not before this have been recorded as occurring in England. The vignette is, with a slight alteration of position, taken from Mr. Tanner’s specimen. [Illustration: The Kildeer Plover.] APPENDIX IV. THE LEPIDOPTERA OF THE NEW FOREST.
