H. Gurney, Jun. , to whom the body of the bird was for- warded, has obligingly furnished me, through my friend Mr Harvie Brown, with the following notes taken by himself on its dissection: " In the throat was a small fly undigested; the tongue is narrow, with the appearance of bristles at its base, acute, and seven-eighths of an inch in length; the oesophagus three-and-a-half inches long, its width inconsiderable, the proventriculus three-quarters of an inch long. The stomach is of the ordinary... shape, compressed, an inch long, and seven-eighths in breadth; inner coat full of wrinkles. The intestine only fourteen inches long; it varies in width. The coeca, which arise at a short distance from the end, are about two- and-a-quarter inches in length. The sternum closely resembles that of a redshank. " GREAT PLOVER COLLARED PRATINCOLE. 251 It may not be out of place to record here the following notice taken from the proceedings of the Berwickshire Naturalists' Club for 1847, which I have not seen quoted elsewhere: " Cwrsorius Isabellinusa, young male bird of this species was killed near Cheswick on the 9th of November, 1846, by Mr David Kowtin (in the preventive service), who shot it during a strong gale from the south, being chased by gulls.
