Rh (Lanius pomeranus).—A female was shot at Winterdown, Esher, on May 7th, 1853, and preserved by Mr. Yearley (F. Styan and J. Mitchell).

(Ampelis garrulus).—A specimen was seen at Windlesham in 1886. It is mentioned in a book called 'The Forest of Windsor,' by G.C. Hughes (S.H. le Marchant, in lit.).

(Coccothraustes vulgaris).—Mr. F. Styan had notes of its nest from the Hogsback, Sutton Place near Guildford, and Haslemere—all in about 1880. It nests annually near Lingfield, and in 1894 there were three nests in one orchard (F.H. Birley, in lit.). Mr. Dalgliesh has recent specimens from Guildford (in lit.). In 1899 nests were taken on Thornton Heath and Streatham Common (Ward Adeney, in lit.). Notwithstanding the extensive building operations taking place in Epsom, the species still frequents some quiet gardens there.

(Carduelis elegans).—Mr. F.H. Birley considers it to be increasing near Lingfield (in lit.).

(Fringilla montifringilla).—Large numbers occurred near Windlesham in 1892 (a good year for this species in Surrey, J.A.B.), and near Chobham in 1900 (S.H. le Marchant, in lit.). Mr. J.M. Mitchell, in the spring of 1900 and 1901, saw a pair near Elstead, which he was inclined to believe were nesting, but the nest was not discovered (in lit.).

(Linota rufescens).—On July 19th, 1887, Mr. F.H. Birley observed a pair feeding their young at Lingfield (in lit.).

(L. flavirostris).—Mr. F. Yearley preserved a specimen shot on Dec. 10th, 1868, at West Molesey (F. Styan and J. Mitchell).

(Loxia curvirostra).—Mr. F. Styan had notes of its occurrence in some numbers about 1880 near Guildford and Haslemere. Mr. F.H. Birley informs me that there were a great many at Lingfield in the winter of 1898–9, and that some few stayed till May (in lit.). Mr. Dalgliesh has a male from Guildford, taken this winter (in lit.).

(Emberiza cirlus).—Mr. F. Styan knew of a nest and two eggs, taken on July 20th, 1873, in Gatton Park, which were recorded in the 'Proceedings' of the Croydon Natural History Society, 1879, p. 35; and of another nest and
