SEDGE WAEBLEE. Salicaria phragmitis (Bechstein). 

 A summer migrant, generally distributed. 



EEED WAEBLEE. 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 Eaheny, near Dublin, in the 

 month of December (!) 1847. Mr. Thompson, cor- 

 recting this date, says (Nat. Hist. Ireland, Birds, vol. i. 

 p. 183), "shot at Eaheny, 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.

 naeus).
