WARBLERS. 1 05 



Obs. In all probability this species will be found to 

 be an annual summer migrant to Great Britain ; but 

 at present it can only be classed amongst the rarer 

 visitants.

 Hab. Southern Europe and North Africa. 



One, Hove, near Brighton, 19th Oct. 1853: A. Newton,

Obs. Mr. J. H. Gurney, jun., has pointed out 

 (Trans. Norfolk and Norwich Nat. Soc. 1871-72) that 

 the figure of the Sedge Warbler given in Hunt's 

 'British Ornithology' (Norwich, 1815) was undoubt- 

 edly taken from a specimen of S. aquatica^ and most 

 probably, therefore, from one killed in Norfolk 



RUFOUS WARBLER*. Aedon galactodes (Temminck). 

 Hab. North Africa and Southern Europe in summer.

Obs. It is possible that this may be the " Eed- 



* Erroneously called " Rufous Sedge Warbler." It is never 

 found in the neighbourhood of sedge, but on the driest ground 

 amidst scrub and cactus.
