[Abundant in the spring, frequenting mostly the mul- 

 berry-trees, which are in fruit at this time of the year (April 

 and May) . It again visits us in September and October, but 

 is with difficulty discovered, owing to its skulking habits, and 

 is quite mute. Shot in April and November.]

24. Acrocephalus phragmitis, Seebohm, t. c. p. 132.

frequently seen it among the long grass that clothes both 

 sides of the river near its inouth, whilst after other game. 

 The one sent to the Museum was shot on the 1st of May, 

 1884, among some grass growing in a marsh just outside the
