70 Dalgleish on North American Birds in Euroin. 



9. One, Bridlington, Yorkshire. Boynton (fide Sclater and Bree), 

 Zool., 1870, p. 2021. On this specimen vide also Zool., torn, cit., pp. 

 206? and 2100. 



Obs. — Messrs. Newton, Dresser, and Hartiug concur in considering 

 all the above occurrences very doubtful, and that in most cases they had 

 been confounded, either with A. spinoletta, the Water Pipit of Continental 

 Europe, or a rufous-bi'easted variety of A.ohscurus, the Kock Pipit, found 

 in Scandinavia. 



Heligoland. 1. One, a young bird. Gatke, J. f. O., 1856, p. 71. 

 In coll. of Herr H. Gatke. 6 Nov., 1851. 



2. One, adult. Giitke, Naum., 1858, p. 423. In coll. of Herr H. Gatke. 

 17 May, 1858. 



Obs. — There being so much hesitation about the admission of the 

 British specimens of this species, it may be well to mention that those ob- 

 tained at Heligoland, by Herr Gatke, are undoubted. Mr. Seebohm states 

 that this bird, being common in Alaska, Kamtchatka, and Japan, the 

 specimens here recorded have probably strayed across Siberia to Heligo- 

 land. 



IX. Dendroeca virens (Gm.). Br.ACK-TiiROATED Green-

 said to have been killed in Cambridgeshire, but in a later communication 

 (Zool., 1852, p. 3507), recording the two mentioned above, he states that 

 he has been unable to authenticate the Cambridgeshire occurrence.
