in late autumn, as an immigrant from the Continent, on 
its way further south. In the winter of 1855-6 single 
birds were observed at Holmfirth and at Keighley. Has 
nested in solitary instances on Thorne Moor and near 
Beverley, both low-lying localities, only a few feet above 
sea-level.

Cinclus aquaticus Zechst Common Dipper.

In extremely severe winters descends from the higher 
localities, and is then occasionally observed on the pol- 
luted streams of the manufacturing districts. Has never 
yet been reported as having occurred in the East Riding.
