364 THE ZOOLOGIST. 



P. trochilus. Willow-Wren. — Willow-Wrens were present on 

 the coast in small numbers from Aug. 25th to Sept. 19th, and 

 subsequently two immature birds appeared on Oct. 6th. 



Acrocephalus sp. ? — On Sept. 20th I shot a Warbler in a hedge 

 at North Cotes which exactly resembled a Reed- Warbler, except 

 that the legs and feet were bright bluish green, inclining to 

 yellowish green at the joints and soles of the feet. The hedge 

 was a considerable distance from any reed-bed. 



Accentor modularis. Hedge-Sparrow. — Hedge-Sparrows ap- 

 peared on the coast in great numbers on Sept. 19th, 20th, and 

 22nd. 



Parus major. Great Titmouse. — A single bird on the coast 

 at Tetney on Oct. 11th. 



P. cceruleus. Blue Titmouse. — Much scarcer than usual. A 

 few arrived on Sept. 8th and 10th, a good many on 20th, and again 

 a few on Oct. 8th. 



Troglodytes parvulus. Wren. — A good many Wrens arrived 

 on the coast on Oct. 8th, and a few on 11th. 



Motacilla lugubris. Pied Wagtail. — Dozens of Wagtails in 

 the vicinity of the coast at Tetney on Sept. 12th, and again on 

 Oct. 8th. 



M. rail. Yellow Wagtail. — Many in the vicinity of the coast 

 on Aug. 8th. On Sept. 1st a few more appeared, and on 5th 

 scores of these Wagtails were present on the banks of the Tetney 

 drains and creeks, but by the 8th most of them had departed. 



Anthus pratensis. Meadow-Pipit. — Very large numbers of 

 these birds were present on the coast on Aug. 25th and Sept. 5th 

 and 12th, frequenting principally the sea-bank and " fitties." 



A. obscuras. Rock-Pipit. — First arrived on Oct. 6th, and was 

 quite abundant on 11th. 



Muscicapa atricapilla. Pied Flycatcher. — The heaviest migra- 

 tion of Pied Flycatchers that I have ever witnessed took place 

 during September, in two separate " rushes," which were at their 

 height on 10th and 22nd respectively. The first bird appeared 

 on Aug. 30th, and a few were always to be seen up to the 10th 

 and 11th of September, when they were very abundant. On the 

 12th, however, all had departed, and until the 22nd I only saw

 quite unusual numbers. They remained a very short time, as
