732 APPENDIX. 



and has been obtained as far west as the Blasquets, 

 off CO. Kerry. As regards a nest and two eggs (in the 

 British Museum) taken near Chelmsford in Essex and 

 ascribed to this species (Zool. 1888, p. 390), I have 

 examined the specimens, and think that the whole evi- 

 dence is strong, though not conclusive. 



Bluethroat (p. 35). 



Mr. Joseph Agnew — whose admirable returns from the Isle 

 of May are well known to all students of the Migration 

 Reports — has signalized his transfer to the Monach 

 Island light-house in the Outer Hebrides by obtaining a 

 male of this species on October nth 1888. It arrived 

 with Redstarts, in a gale for the N. and N.E. with snow 

 and hail showers, and was two days on the island before 

 it died (Harvie-Brown and Buckley, ' Fauna of Outer 

 Hebrides,' p. 252). 



Barred Warbler (p. 51). 



A 3'oung male was shot by Mr. George Power at Blakeney 

 in Norfolk on September loth 1888, after easterly winds; 

 making the fifth example obtained in Great Britain. 



IcTERiNE Warbler (p. 69). 



Mr. C. ^I. Adamson has shown me an adult male shot in a 

 garden close to Newcastle-on-Tyne, on June 20th 1889. 

 Mr. Cordeaux has suggested that the bird figured was 

 probably an example of Hypolais polyglotta, and not of 

 H. icterina, in which the wings reach nearly to the 

 middle of the tail. If this had been noticed in time 

 another illustration would have been given. 



Wall-Creeper (p. III). 



The dimensions were accidentally omitted : they are — length 

 of body 5 '5 in., wing 3 '9 in. 



Red-breasted Flycatcher (p. 153). 



A young bird was killed by striking against the lantern of the 

 Arklow (South) light-ship, seven miles from the coast of 

 Wexford, on October 23rd 1887, and was forwarded to 

 Mr. R. M. Barrington (Zool. 1888, p. 391). To the 

 examples already recorded from Trescoe, in the Scilly 

 Islands, a third should be added, namely one sent to 

 Vingoe in October 1863, and not mentioned by Rodd ; 

 it is now in the collection of Mr. J. H. Gurney jun. A 

 specimen was obtained in Holland on September 23rd 

 188S.
