WARBLERS. 1 05 



Obs. In all probability this species will be found to 

 be an annual summer migrant to Great Britain ; but 

 at present it can only be classed amongst the rarer 

 visitants. 



AQUATIC WAEBLEE. SalicaHa aquatica (Gmelin). 

 Hab. Soutliern Europe and North Africa. 



One^ Hove, near Brighton, 19th Oct. 1853 : A. Newton, 



P. Z. S. 1866, p. 210. 

 One, Loughborough, Leicestershire, summer 1864 : Harting, 



Ibis, 1867, p. 468 ; Zoologist, 1867, p. 946. 

 One near Dover; in Dover Museum : Gurney, Zoologist, 



1871, p. 2521. 



Obs. Mr, J. H. Gurney, jun., has pointed out 

 (Trans. Norfolk and Norwich Nat. Soc. 1871-72) that 

 the figure of the Sedge Warbler given in Hunt's 

 'British Ornithology' (Norwich, 1815) was undoubt- 

 edly taken from a specimen of S. aquatica, and most 

 probably, therefore, from one killed in Norfolk. 



EtTFOIIS WAEBLEE*. Aedon galactodes (Temminck)- 

 Hab. North Africa and Southern Europe in summer. 



One, Plumpton Bosthill, near Brighton, 16th Sept. 1854 : 



Borrer, Zoologist, 1854, p. 4511. 

 One, Start Point, Devonshire, Sept. 1859 : Llewellyn, Ann. 



& Mag. Nat. Hist. (1859), iv. p. 399 ; Ibis, 1860, p. 103. 



Obs. It is possible that this may be the " Eed- 



* Erroneously called " Eufous Sedge Warbler." It is never 

 found in the neighbourhood of sedge, but on the driest ground 

 amidst scrub and cactus.
