37. MUSCICAPA GRISOLA. 



Alderney. The Spotted Flycatcher was numerous in the 

 hedgerows on the 25th and 26th of September, along with 

 various immigrants, of which it was undoubtedly one. 



Mr. Cecil Smith {op. cit. p. 24) says that this bird probably 

 occurs in Alderney. 



38. MUSCICAPA ATRICAPILLA. 



Alderney. A Pied Flycatcher was distinctly seen by 

 Mr. Laidlaw and myself, independently, on the morning of 

 the 27th of September. It was in a tall hedge, with Ring- 

 Ouzels, Blackbirds, Goldcrests, Willow-Wrens, and other 

 migrants, and was in " female " plumage. 



This species has no place in Mr. Cecil Smith's book, and 

 I am unable to state whether it is new to Alderney and other 

 of the Channel Islands. 



39. HiRUNDO RUSTICA. 



Ushant. The Swallow is a summer visitor, in limited 

 numbers, to the island, and had not departed at the date of 

 our exit.

 places, but did not appear to be an abundant species at 

 Alderney at the time of our visit.

 tember 8th.
