to the Scandinavian form, which has a red spot in the centre

East Suffolk. 



1. Yarmouth, a rare visitant (Paget, Y., 6); a pair shot near Yar- 

 mouth, formerly in Mr. Miller's Collection now dispersed (Stev. B. ofN. 

 i., 235); these birds were shot in 1845 (Lubbock, Fauna of Norfolk, p. 

 36, referred to by Newton in Yarrell's Br. B. ii., 178). Reported to 

 have built in a fir tree near Bungay to Messrs. Gurney and Fisher, (in 

 Z. 1313). Mr. J. H. Gurney, jun., thinks they could not have been 

 seen in summer and so could not have nested (J. H. Gurney, jun., in 

 Z. 3rd S. 245; see also Yarrell's Br. B. by Newton, ii., 178).

7. One shot at Heigham in 1874 (Tearle MS. from Howlett).

 1818 (Yarrell's Br. B. by Newton ii., 208). Mr. Hele obtained a 

 bird which he was informed was of this species, from Sizewell Belts in
