Avium Disponendarum Tentamen.” Yet though the merits 
of his classification are great, it must be admitted that the 
juxtaposition of several birds of a somewhat opposite 
nature, such as the dipper and the Dartford warbler, is 
the result of applying it to a limited area. 
NIGHTINGALE.!—A summer migrant; but not so common 
as in counties further south. At Cromer and Yar- 
mouth comparatively rare. Said to be increasing about 
Beccles. 
BLueTHROAT (Ruticilla suecica: Linn.). — Occurred at 
Yarmouth in September, 1841, at Cley in September, 
1881, and again at Yarmouth and Cley in September, 
1883. On the last occasion no less than nine were 
obtained at Cley by Mr. F. D. Power. 
REDSTART.—A summer visitant. A great many young 
redstarts generally pass along the coast the first week 
in September; but in 1880 we had an unusual 
migration of them. 
Biack RepstartT.—An occasional visitant. In October, 
1848, a female was killed at Yarmouth. In October, 
1849, two more occurred, but in what part of the 
county is not remembered. In April, 1870, a male 
was shot at Hoveton. In May, 1872, a male was 
seen at Erpingham; and, in December, 1875, a male 
in change was killed at Cley. 
REDBREAST.—Common all the year, receiving undoubted 
migratory additions in the autumn. 
STONECHAT.—Common in furzy places—and, I think, 
about Cromer as much so in winter as In summer. 
‘The bulk of the numerous class of summer migrants, especially 
the Sy/viade, leave us in September, at which season they are imme- 
diately followed by large numbers of others of the same species from 
Scandinavia and North Britain, passing Norfolk on their way to the 
Mediterranean.
