134 THE ZOOLOGIST. 



generally appears with a rather strong N.W. wind (Gatke). 

 [Lesser'Grey Shrike at Whitby (« Naturalist,' 1906, p. 70).] 



21st. — N.E., 4. A Yellow-breasted Bunting (Emberiza 

 aureola, Pall.), immature, and probably a female, shot on the 

 coast close to the shore, where it had most likely arrived that 

 morning, as recorded briefly by Mr. E. C. Arnold (Zool. 1905, 

 p. 466). He noticed its flight to be much more buoyant than 

 that of a Yellowhammer, from which his example chiefly differs 

 in having the lower part of the back streaked. If it had come 

 three days earlier it would have been on the same date as the 

 first Heligoland example. As this is its first detected visit, I am 

 glad to be able to take advantage of the offer of a drawing made 

 of it by Mr. Arnold (cf. Plate II.). Its occurrence on the day 

 following the Red-breasted Flycatcher and Lesser Grey Shrike is 

 interesting, probably all of them were from Eastern Europe. 



25th. — Eighty-five House-Martins sitting, in heavy rain, on 

 the ledges of my house. I think these birds have been commoner 

 this year, or less persecuted by their arch-enemy, the Sparrow. 

 Two of my correspondents write of large numbers roosting on the 

 reeds of the Broads. 



26th. — A good deal of migration reported as the result of 

 yesterday's rain and easterly gale (force 6 at Yarmouth), viz. 

 Peregrine Falcon at Fleggburgh (Lowne), Grey Shrike at 

 Sprowston (E. Gurney), Bluethroat at Wells (Gunn), Solitary 

 Snipe at Ringstead, Icterine Warbler at Blakeney, and an arrival 

 of Teal, acceptable to shooters. 



28th.— E.N.E., 3. Mr. Patterson picked up a Manx Shear- 

 water, the result probably of the gale on the 26th, and saw some 

 boys stoning a Red-throated Diver in the breakers ; Mr. Dye 

 heard of another Diver. Ring-Ouzel at Northrepps. 



30th. — An adult Gannet taken on a farm at Weasenham, 

 within half a mile of where the young one was picked up on 

 Sept. 2nd (Buxton) ; a high wind the preceding day from N.E. 



October. (Prevailing wind N.) 



1st. — A number of Siskins near Yarmouth (W. Lowne), and, 

 later, a nice quantity at Keswick. 



3rd. — Mr. R. Clarke received a Fulmar from Lynn, probably 

 caught or picked up ; the only one this year.
