312 I might perhaps add to the foregoing notes a few local Surrey names which have recently been brought to my notice:—

—(R. W. Courage, per F. Styan and J. Mitchell. A term used near Thursley; obviously a mere local pronunciation).

—(The same authority. The same remarks as to origin apply.)

—(Fide Mr. R.W. Courage, of Thursley, per G. Styan and J. Mitchell. Probably an error for Kestrel, as "Wind-fanner" is a common local name for that species.)

I fear that this will be my last contribution for some time to the history of the avifauna in Surrey, as I am leaving England to take up duties in South Africa. I have endeavoured in these notes to bring up to date all my collected observations not mentioned in my book on Surrey Birds, and I hope that in the future some other ornithologist will periodically recapitulate the annual records from my own county.
