14 RESIDENTS AND MIGRANTS. 
GRASSHOPPER WARBLER. Salicaria locustella (La- 
tham). 
A summer migrant; not known to extend further 
north than Oban in Argyleshire. 
SEDGE WARBLER. Salicaria phragmitis (Bechstein). 
A summer migrant, generally distributed. 
REED WARBLER. Salicaria strepera (Vieillot). 
A summer migrant to England, where it is chiefly 
confined to the midland, eastern, and south-eastern 
counties; very rare in Scotland, and almost unknown 
in Ireland. It is included in 'Templeton’s ‘ Catalogue 
of the Birds of Ireland’ as having been seen in the 
vicinity of Belfast, and a bird of this species is stated 
to have been shot at Raheny, near Dublin, in the 
month of December (!) 1847. Mr. Thompson, cor- 
recting this date, says (Nat. Hist. Ireland, Birds, vol. 1. 
p- 183), “shot at Raheny, 21st December, 1843, by 
Mr. Montgomery.” Mr. Kinahan (Zoologist, 1860, 
p. 6961) and Mr. Blake Knox (Zoologist, 1870, 
p. 2018) both call attention to the fact of this single 
occurrence in the county of Dublin.

neeus). 
An occasional summer visitant to England, where 
the nest has been found in Surrey, Kent, Hants, Herts,
