wide range over Scandinavia, going far up within the 

 arctic circle*. The Spotted Flycatcher sometimes 

 rears two broods during the summer. In July 1871 

 a pair in my garden, four days after the first brood 

 had left the nest, commenced another within a foot 

 or two of the old one, where a second brood was 

 reared. 



31. MUSCICAPA ATRICAPILLA, Linnaeus. Pied Fly- 

 catcher. 



Has occurred both in the spring and autumn. 

 One was seen by Mr. Alington in the spring of 1865, 

 in the parish of Brigsley, arid it is the only specimen 

 he has met with in North Lincolnshire. In the 

 autumn of 1866 some were shot near Flamborough 

 Head; and on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th of May, 1867, 

 Mr. Bailey, of that place, procured several out of a 

 large flock containing birds of both sexes, mature 

 and immature; eight of these were sent to Mr. 

 Boulton (Zoologist, 1867, p. 542). Mr. Stevenson, 

 in the ' Zoologist' for 1869, p. 1492, has recorded an 

 extraordinary autumnal immigration of immature 

 birds on the 14th and 15th of September, 1868, at 

 Gunton, near Lowestoft, on the Suffolk coast. Breeds 

 as far north as Lapland, and is mentioned in Som- 

 merfeldt's list of the birds of East Finmark (Zoo- 

 logist, 1867, p. 765).
