BIRDS. 19 



IT. Cinclus melanogaster C. L. Brehm. Black-bellied 

 Dipper. 



Accidental visitant from Scandinavia, of rare occurrence; 

 in Eastern Yorkshire only. 



Welwick, one, Oct. 24, 1874, in the collection of Mr. P. W. 

 Lawton, of Easington. 



Beverley, one, Oct. 29, 1875 (Boyes, Zool. 1876, p. 4871).

Resident, extremely local, and eccentric in its distribution. 

 In the autumn the majority migrate, only a few remaining

 coast. During the breeding season this species seems to
