68. LANIUS POMERANUS, Sparrman. Woodchat. 
In 1860 or 1861, two young birds obtained near Scarborough by Mr. 
A. S. Bell [Clarke, ‘ Birds of Yorkshire,’ p. 61]. 
September 8th, 1896, a pair seen on a hedge near Easington [‘ Nat.,’ 
1897, p. 15]. 
Family AMPELIDA. 
69. AMPELIS GARRULUS, Linn. Waxwing. 
An irregular and uncertain winter visitor. January, 1883, and 
February, 1893, are the months in which the greatest number visited the 
district. On April 23rd, 1894, two were seen on a hedge near Patrington 
Station, Holderness. The most recent, a flock of a dozen near Scar- 
borough in October, 1897. 
Family MUSCICAPIDA. 
70. Muscicapa aTRIcaPILLA, Linn. Pied Flycatcher. 
A double migration; in the spring the last week in April and early 
May, and in the autumn the latter part of August and to the middle of 
September. The movements are confined at both seasons to the coast 
districts, and often very pronounced both at the Spurn and Flamborough 
Head. In 1871 a pair nested in the rotten bough of a small oak in 
Scawby wood, North Lincolnshire. 
71. Muscicara erisona, Linn. Spotted Flycatcher. 
A regular summer visitor, nesting in every part of the district. The 
earliest record for this parish (Great Cotes) is May 4th, 1865. The 
average dates since 1863 about May 14th. Depart in the autumn in the 
last week of August and through September. 
72. Muscicapa parva, Bechst. Red-breasted Flycatcher. 
October 23rd, 1889, an immature bird shot by Mr. John Morley, at 
Scarborough; it was in a wood amongst beech trees, and the locality 
swarmed with golden-crested wrens, also woodcocks, which had evidently 
just arrived [‘ Nat.,’ 1890, p. 14]. In the collection of Sir Vauncey 
Crewe, Bart., Derbyshire. 
Family HIRUNDINIDA. 
73. Hirunpo rustica, Linn. Swallow. 
Since 1863 the average time of arrival of the swallow in North-east 
Lincolnshire has been April 12th to 14th. The last record I have is 
November 24th, 1888, near the Spurn. 
74. CHELIDON URBIcA (Linn.). Houwse-Martin. 
Arriving very occasionally in April, but generally in May during the 
first fortnight in the month. Last observed November 22nd, 1896. The 
bulk depart from the middle of September and through October. Is 
scarcely so common as formerly. 
75. CoTILe RIpARIA (Linn.). Sand-Martin. 
Common, and nesting regularly in several localities. The earliest 
since 1864 was April 10th, 1874, and this is the only occasion on which 
I have seen the sand-martin in advance of the swallow.
