immigrants. They are much larger, and may be the St. Kilda Wren; anyhow, they keep more to the high ground, and are not nearly so arboreal in their habits as the common species. It is, however, more probable that they may have been bred on some other of the isles of North Britain.—E.P. Butterfield (Wilsden, near Bradford).
Rare Birds in Surrey.—The following birds have lately passed through the hands of Mr. Bradden, the Guildford taxidermist:—A Golden-eye (Clangula glaucion), female, shot at Shamley Green, near Guildford, Nov. 17th, 1901; a Spoonbill (Platalea leucorodia), female, procured at Claudon Park, Nov. 26th, 1901; and a Storm-Petrel (Procellaria pelagica), male, caught alive at St. Catherine's, Guildford, by police-constable Turner, flying at lighted lamp, Dec. 28th.—Gordon Dalgliesh (Inglefield, Milford, near Godalming, Surrey).
Birds of the Isle of Man.—Being engaged in the collection of material for a work on Manx birds, I will gratefully receive and acknowledge information bearing on the subject; or references to books, periodicals, &c, in which such occur, and which may not have come under my notice.—P. Ralfe (Castletown, Isle of Man).
