Tue ZooLtocist—Aueust, 1875. 4567 
Garden Warbler.—Canterbury, June 4th; Barming, June 8th. 
The examples taken at Barming are very pale; the markings have 
a washed-out appearance, apparently not being on the surface of 
the shell. 
Whitethroat.— Rodmersham, May 24th; sap-green, mottled. 
I only found one nest of this common species. 
Yellowhammer.—Tunstall, May 29th. Only one nest with three 
eggs. 
Chaffinch.—Sittingbourne, May 24th; only one nest with two 
eggs. 
House Sparrow.—Sittingbourne, May 24th, 28th, and June 3rd ; 
Newington, June 8rd; Barming, June 8th; usual varieties, chiefly 
in sand martin’s holes. Var., unusually white, in nest of house 
martin, June Sth. 
Greenfinch.—Sittingbourne, May 27th; Bobbing, June 11th. 
Goldfinch ?2—Newington, June 3rd and Sth, in one nest. These 
eggs, although in the proper form of nest and in the right position 
for this bird, are so large that I feel considerable doubt of their 
correct identification. 
Linnet.—Rodmersham, May 27th; Sittingbourne, May 28th. 
I also have a form of linnet’s egg taken at Murston, May 29th, 
I have generally supposed it referable to the greenfinch, but it is 
quite abnormal, and Hewitson’s work affords no clew whatever 
toit. I have taken the egg in former years. 
Lesser Redpoll 2—Callum Hill, near Newington, May 31st. This 
may be only an abnormal linnet’s egg; it is exactly like Hewitson’s 
representation of the egg of the mealy redpoll; nest lined inside 
with white wool. 
Crow.—Murston, 1875; presented by Mr. H. Bonnie. 
Cuckoo.—Small reddish form, Murston, May 29th; in sedge 
warbler’s nest. Larger grayish form, Tonge Mill, Tonge, June 5th ; 
in reed warbler’s nest. 
Swallow.—Tonge Mill, June 5th and 11th; in rafters of boat- 
house. 
Martin.—Tonge Mill, June 5th. 
Turtle Dove.—Barming, June 7th; two nests.
