I might perhaps add to the foregoing notes a few local Surrey names which have recently been brought to my notice:—
Christial = Kestrel.—(R. W. Courage, per F. Styan and J. Mitchell. A term used near Thursley; obviously a mere local pronunciation).
Tappho = Green Woodpecker.—(The same authority. The same remarks as to origin apply.)
Fanner = Hen-Harrier.—(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.
