  S. 
  kortensis 
  (Garden- 
  Warbler). 
  — 
  One 
  or 
  two 
  of 
  these 
  Warblers 
  

   appeared 
  on 
  the 
  coast 
  on 
  Sept. 
  19th, 
  and 
  again 
  on 
  22nd. 
  

  

  Refiulus 
  cristatus 
  (Goldcrest). 
  — 
  The 
  first 
  Goldcrest 
  appeared 
  

   on 
  the 
  coast 
  on 
  the 
  unusually 
  early 
  date 
  of 
  Sept. 
  7th 
  ; 
  from 
  this 
  

   time 
  to 
  the 
  13th 
  a 
  few 
  were 
  generally 
  to 
  be 
  seen, 
  but 
  during 
  the 
  

   great 
  "rush 
  " 
  of 
  small 
  birds 
  between 
  19th 
  and 
  26th 
  the 
  species 
  

   was 
  abundant 
  on 
  all 
  trees 
  and 
  hedges 
  in 
  the 
  coast 
  district. 
  They 
  

   then 
  became 
  scarce 
  till 
  Oct. 
  7th, 
  when 
  a 
  second 
  but 
  much 
  smaller 
  

   migration 
  set 
  in, 
  lasting 
  till 
  the 
  21st. 
  I 
  saw 
  Goldcrests 
  on 
  the 
  

   coast 
  for 
  the 
  last 
  time 
  on 
  26th. 
  

  

  Phylloscopus 
  rufus 
  (Chiffchaff). 
  — 
  Chiffchaft's 
  appeared 
  singly 
  

   at 
  intervals 
  between 
  Sept. 
  9th 
  and 
  Oct. 
  9th. 
  One 
  which 
  I 
  shot 
  

   on 
  Sept. 
  10th 
  was 
  a 
  very 
  small 
  and 
  dull-coloured 
  bird. 
  

  

  P. 
  trochilus 
  (Willow- 
  Wren). 
  — 
  An 
  extremely 
  heavy 
  migration 
  

   of 
  this 
  species 
  took 
  place, 
  commencing 
  as 
  early 
  as 
  Aug. 
  11th, 
  

   and 
  continuing 
  with 
  little 
  intermission 
  till 
  Oct. 
  7th. 
  It 
  was, 
  

   however, 
  during 
  the 
  great 
  " 
  rush 
  " 
  of 
  Sept. 
  19th 
  to 
  25th 
  that 
  the 
  

   passage 
  of 
  these 
  little 
  birds 
  reached 
  its 
  height, 
  and 
  from 
  the 
  21st 
  

   to 
  24th 
  they 
  were 
  more 
  numerous 
  along 
  the 
  coast 
  than 
  I 
  have 
  

   ever 
  known 
  them 
  before.
