THE BARRED WARBLER. 
SyLvia NisORIA (Bechstein). 
On March 4th, 1879, Professor Newton exhibited at a meeting 
of the Zoological’ Society a specimen of the Barred Warbler which 
had been shot many years previously in a garden near Queen’s 
College, Cambridge. Since attention was thus drawn to this species 
as a visitor, eleven more examples have been obtained in the British 
Islands. Between 1884 and 1896, four occurred in East Yorkshire 
at dates varying from August 28th to November 13th, and three 
near Blakeney, Norfolk, from August 31st to September roth. In 
Scotland, one was shot at Broadford, Isle of Skye, on August 16th, 
1884, and another was taken at Dhuheartach light, Argyll, on 
F 2
