378 BIRDS OF NORFOLK. [APPENDIX A.] 



HYPOLAIS 1C T ERIN A (Vieillot). 

 ICTERINE WARBLER. 



We are indebted to the brothers F. D. and G. E. 

 Power for the recognition of this rare visitant in 

 Norfolk ; it was killed at Blakeney, on September llth, 

 1884. Full particulars of the occurrence will be found 

 in a paper by Mr. F. D. Power, " Trans. Norfolk and 

 Norwich Nat. Soc,," iv., pp. 36-43. 



SYLVIA NISORIA, Bechstein. 

 BARKED WARBLER. 



On the 4th September, 1884, a female of this species, 

 a bird of the year, was killed by Mr. F. D. Power, at 

 Blakeney, during the visit which produced the icterine 

 warbler, and will be found recorded in the paper referred 

 to above. On the 10th September, 1888, Mr. Power was 

 fortunate enough to secure a second example of this rare 

 visitor; it, also, was killed at Blakeney after easterly 

 winds, and near the spot where the previous specimen 

 was shot. This proved on dissection to be a male, and 

 its food was found to consist almost entirely of earwigs.

 Gurney, jun., and myself were unable to include this 

 species with certainty in our list of " Norfolk Birds," 

 contributed to the " Trans, of the Norfolk and Norwich 

 Nat. Soc." (iv. p. 275), but on the 14th April, 1888, its 

 claim to be admitted was placed beyond doubt by the 

 occurrence on the golf ground, at Great Yarmouth, of
