6 PARIDEZ—TROGLODYTIDZ 
40. CINCLUS MELANOGASTER, Brehm. Black-bellied Dipper. 
Between 1871 and 1889, eight of the northern form with the black 
breast-band, and as near as I can ascertain six of these in October at 
the time the woodcocks came. This is the ‘‘ Black Wren” of the short 
list of Lincolnshire marsh birds given in Notitiz Lude, 1834, pp. 283-4. 
Family PARIDA. 
41. AcrEDULA ROSEA (Blyth). British Long-tailed Titmouse. 
Fairly common in most parts of the district; is a great wanderer in 
the autumn and winter, and occurs in the coast districts, where it is 
not seen in the summer. In the treeless land near the Spurn I have 
known flocks up to eighty in the autumn in the storm-twisted hedgerows. 
42. AcREDULA cAUDATA (Linn.) White-headed Long-tailed Titmouse. 
November, 1872, one in Great Cotes marsh, with a pure-white head 
[‘ Zool,’ 1873, p. 3401}. 
43. Parus magor, Linn. Great Titmouse. 
Common and resident. There are large accessions to the number of 
our local birds in the autumn, in October and November. This increase 
was very pronounced in the coast districts in 1878-’83-’84-’86 and ’89. 
44, Parus BRITANNICUS, Sharpe and Dresser. British Coal-Titmouse. 
Common and resident. In the coast districts is more frequent in the 
autumn and winter. 
45. Parus ATER, Linn. Continental Coal-Titmouse. 
Occasionally on migration in October [‘ Nat.,’ 1896, p. 8; ‘ Nat.,’ 
1899, p. 24]. 
46. Parus PALUSTRIS, Linn. Marsh-Titmouse. 
Not uncommon but locally distributed. Very numerous in the winter 
of 1873 in Great Cotes. Is a doubtful immigrant. 
47, Parus c@RuLeEusS, Linn. Blue Titmouse. 
Resident and generally distributed. An occasional great immigration 
in September and October. This was unusually heavy in 1878 and 1889. 
This and the great tit not unfrequently come on board vessels at sea 
in the autumn. 
Family SITTIDA. 
48. Srrra cmsta, Wolf. Nuthatch. 
In the best timbered parts of the district, but nowhere common. 
Family TROGLODYTIDA. 
49. TROGLODYTES PARVULUS, K. L. Koch. Wren. 
Common and resident. The occasional large increase in the autumn 
in the coast districts over and above the normal number, can only be 
accounted for by immigration.
