LANCEOLATED WARBLER IN LINCOLNSHIRE. 355 



occurred previously in any part of western Europe.* It 

 breeds in Kamchatka, Japan and Saghalien, through 

 Siberia, and seldom in Russia (Hartert, Vog. pal. Fauna, 

 p. 554). It passes through China on migration and winters 

 in India, as far west as Etawah, Burma, Pegu, Tenasserim 

 and the Andaman Islands (Oates, Birds of Brit. India, 

 Vol. 1, p. 354). 



The skin was examined by Dr. E. Hartert, to whom it 

 was submitted by Mr. H. F. Witherby, and my thanks 

 are due to both for the trouble they took in the 

 identification of this very much-damaged specimen. 



* We believe that there are only two recorded occurrences of the 

 bird in Europe, one in North Russia, the other near Cattaro, Dalmatia, 

 in November, 1907 (Grossmann, Orn. Jahr., 1908, p. 255). — Eds.
