58 THE ZOOLOGIST. 



Siberian Willow Wren, Phylloscopus borealis. — On Nov. 

 21st, 1894, after some very heavy gales from N. and N.E., when 

 out walking on the headland, Mr. Bailey, of Flamborough, and 

 I, saw, on the lee-side of a plantation near the old lighthouse, 

 a Willow Wren with a very distinct wing-bar ; we watched it for 

 some minutes, and, with the occasional aid of a glass, at the 

 distance of a few feet. Subsequently I was able to establish the 

 identity of the bird, from notes taken at the time, with P. borealis, 

 and also from skins in Mr. Dresser's collection (Nat. 1894, p. 40 ; 

 Zool. 1894, p. 125, footnote). Is also recorded in Mr. Bailey's 

 list of birds in ' Flamborough Village and Headland,' 1894, 

 p. 156 ; but the year was 1893, not 1894, as printed in this 

 excellent guide-book. 



Yellow-browed Warbler, Phylloscopus super ciliosus (J. F. 

 Gmelin). — One was shot on Oct. 13th, 1892, from a hedge at 

 North Cotes, by Mr. G. H. Caton Haigh, of Grainsby Hall. 

 This is now in Mr. Haigh's collection (Zool. 1892, p. 413 ; Nat. 

 1893, p. 10). Mr. F. Boyes, of Beverley, recorded three shot by 

 Mr. Swailes, the nurseryman at Beverley, from the gardens, on 

 Oct. 8th and following days ('The Field,' Oct. 27th, 1894), and 

 one of these was secured by Mr. W. Eagle Clarke for the Science 

 and Art Museum, Edinburgh; see Zool. 1894, p. 459. 



Fire-crested Wren, Regulus ignicapillus (C. L. Brehm). — 

 One, a fine adult male, Easington, in Holderness, on Oct. 15th, 

 1892. Came in with an extraordinary immigration of Gold- 

 crested Wrens at that date (Zool. 1892, p. 418 ; Nat. 1893, p. 1 1). 



Bed-breasted Flycatchmi, Muscicapa parva, Beclistein. — 

 This example, shot at Scarborough on Oct. 23rd, 1889, is, I 

 am informed, not in the possession of Mr. J. H. Gurney of 

 Keswick Hall, as stated by me (Zool. 1891, p. 362), but in the 

 collection of Sir V. H. Harpur Crewe, Calke Abbey, Derbyshire. 



Greenland Redpoll, Acanthis hornemanni, Holboll ; the 

 Linaria canescens of Gould.— On Feb. 25th, 1892, Mr. Hewetson 

 and I saw a most beautiful example, presumably of this large 

 arctic Redpoll, clinging to the dead stalk of a thistle on Kiln- 

 sea Common. It was with Snow Buntings, remaining after 

 these had flown, and fortunately allowed us a very close in- 

 spection (Nat. 1893, p. 104). In 1894 Mr. Hewetson obtained a 

 Redpoll, shot in the winter of 1892, and which had been kept 

 since that time by Mr. P. Loten, the birdstuffer at Easington, in
