328 THE ZOOLOGIST. 
Curlew passed in the same direction, calling incessantly. In 
Yarmouth market, on August 1st, Whimbrel and Curlew, an im- 
mature Ruff and two Reeves. On the 5th, from Breydon, two 
Oystercatchers, Knot, Pigmy Curlew, and a Turnstone. A male 
Crossbill, in red plumage, was shot at Braconash, near Norwich, 
on the 31st. Water Rails must have been exceptionally plentiful 
this year in Norfolk, as Mr. Edward Bidwell was informed by one 
dealer he had received over two hundred eggs from Yarmouth, 
and others had been supplied with them as well. 
On September 4th a Manx Shearwater was shot on Breydon, 
and a Red-necked Phalarope on the banks of the Bure, near 
Yarmouth, on the 7th. An adult Little Gull was shot on Breydon 
on the 13th. An immature specimen of the red-spotted race of 
Blue-throated Warbler was shot on the 15th, on the south side 
of Breydon Wall, and on the previous day another was shot at 
Blakeney by Mr. F. D. Power. As will be seen by Mr. Gurney’s 
paper (Trans. Norfolk and Norwich Nat. Soc. vol. ii. p. 597) on 
the occurrence of this species in some numbers this autumn upon 
the Cley and Blakeney sand-hills, between the 14th and 22nd of 
September, Mr. Power secured nine specimens, all in more or less 
immature dress, which, with many others seen, consorted with 
various other common summer migrants, amongst the Warblers. 
An immature Pied Flycatcher was shot on the Denes at Yarmouth 
on the 15th. Two Honey Buzzards were seen by Mr. Cremer 
during this month at Beeston, near Cromer. Strange as it may 
seem, that a species so common across the Channel should be 
unrecognised here, we certainly owe to Mr. H. M. Upcher’s obser- 
vation the addition of the White Wagtail to our Norfolk list. In 
his address as President of the Norfolk and Norwich Naturalists’ 
Society, he stated that for three or four days in September, 1883, 
he watched a pair of these birds on his lawn at Feltwell. These 
two were adult, and he thinks some immature birds were with 
them. Fortunately, to make identification more sure, by com- 
parison, several Pied Wagtails were in company with them at the 
time, so that the difference was most marked. Mr. Smith’s notes 
from Breydon and Yarmouth beach comprise a Little Stint on 
the 8th, and Pigmy Curlew; another Little Stint on the 14th; 
and three next day, and one on the 16th, with two Greenshanks, 
a Sanderling, Ruff and Reeve, and a Land Dotterel (immature) 
and two red Knots; a Spotted Redshank on the 8th; one
