of the Norfolk and Suffolk Birds. 11 
This circumstance shows that they were then migrating, and it 
seems highly probable that they came from the Continent. 
Genus IV. BOMBYCIVORA. 
1. B. garrula (Waxen Chatterer). 
The Waxen Chatterer, though only an occasional visitant, has 
not unfrequently made its appearance in these counties, and 
generally from November to March. Some years since a pro- 
digious flock of them were seen in a grove at Bawdsey in Suf- 
folk, by W. W. Page, Esq., then resident at that place. Mr. 
Leathes informs us that these birds were in considerable abun- 
dance at Herringfleet in the winter of 1810. 
Genus V. Coractas. 
1. C. garrula (Roller). 
* [In the month of May 1811, Sir Thomas Gooch's keeper 
shot a female Roller near Benacre in Suffolk, on the same spot 
where he had killed the male four years since: the ground they 
frequented was a coarse sort of heath and fen intermixed."— Brit. 
Zool. edit. 1812. In answer to some queries respecting a Roller 
killed in Suffolk, Mr. Hunt of Norwich replies, ** The specimen 
of the Roller, which was shot at Bungay September 23, 1817, I 
suspect was a young male bird, as it differs materially in plu- 
mage from a female one now in my possession. "This bird 1s 
now in the collection of Joseph Sabine, Esq. I am also credibly 
informed, that another specimen of the same bird was killed in 
the neighbourhood of Yarmouth about the same time. A few 
years since a Roller was shot at Bromeswell in Suffolk. And 
late in the spring of 1818 another was killed in the neighbour- 
hood of Cromer."
