ADDENDA AND CORRIGENDA BIRDS Two species have been added to our list, bringing the total number of definitely recorded species up to 235. 234. Montagu's Harrier. Circus cineraceus (Montagu). One was shot by a keeper towards the end of April 1903, on the moors between Bake- well and Sheffield (W. Storrs Fox, Zool. 1903, p. 268). It is somewhat remarkable that this bird has not been previously recorded for the county as it is usually less rare than either of the other two species. 235. Sabine's Gull. Xema sabinii (J. Sabine). One was shot at Chaddesden at the end of August 1894, and is now in the Museum at Derby. It is a young bird with black-bordered tail (Zool. 1904, p. 107). 107. Rough-legged Buzzard. Buteo lagopus (J. F. Gmelin). One trapped on the moors near Bakewell, II March, 1903 (W. Storrs Fox, Zool. 1903, p. 268). 113. Honey Buzzard. Pernis apivorus (L.).
