 obtained at Wells, Norfolk, on September 4th, 1893 :one 

 obtained at Cley, Norfolk, on September 7th, 1896; and one 

 obtained at Burwash, Sussex, on April 30th, 1897. The above 

 instances are taken from Saunders's ' Manual of British Birds,' 

 second edition, 1899, p. 75. The following occurrences have 

 been recorded after the publication of Saunders's manual : One 

 obtained at Cromer, Norfolk, on September 5th, 1899 (E. C. 

 Arnold, ' Zoologist,' 1899, p. 475) ; one obtained at Blakeney, 

 Norfolk, on September 18th, 1903 ; and one seen on September 

 26th, 1905 (J. H. Gurney, ' Zoologist,' 1904, p. 209, and ibid., 

 1906, p. 134) ; one seen by Mr. A. Napier, near Holkham, Norfolk, 

 on September 20th, 1903 (J. H. Gurney, 'Zoologist,' 1904, 

 p. 212) ; one seen at the Kentish Knock Lightship on Septem- 

 ber 22nd, 1903 (W. Eagle Clarke, ibid., 1904, p. 136) ; one, a 

 male, obtained near Rye, Sussex, on June 26th, 1905 (J. B. 

 Nichols, ' Zoologist,' 1905, p. 349) ; one, a female, obtained at 

 St. Catherine's Lighthouse, on September 29th, 1905 (H. F. 

 Witherby, 'Bulletin of the British Ornithologists' Club, vol. xvi, 

 p. 23). The above instances have been gleaned from a paper in 

 ' British Birds,' vol. i, p. 83, by Mr. Witherby and Dr. Tice- 

 hurst, entitled, " On the more Important Additions to our 

 Knowledge of British Birds since 1899." Still later notices of 

 the occurrences of this Warbler in Great Britain are as follows : 

 One obtained at Cley, Norfolk, on September 12th, 1907 (E. C. 

 Arnold, ' British Birds,' vol. i, 1907-8, p. 226) ; one obtained at 

 Fair Isle in autumn, 1908 (W. Eagle Clarke, 'Annals of Scottish 

 Natural History,' 1909, p. 73) ; one obtained at Lerwick, Shet- 

 land, on May 15th, 1910 (G. W. Russell, ' Annals of Scottish 

 Natural History,' 1911, p. 183) ; one, a female, obtained at 

 Wells, Norfolk, on September 13th, 1911 (F. Penrose, ' British 

 Birds,' vol. v, 1911-12, p. 188) ; three recorded at Fair Isle, 

 between June 3rd and 5th, 1911 (W. Eagle Clarke, ' Studies in 

 Bird Migration,' vol. ii, p. 133). 



N.B. — These last three records from Fair Isle are chrono- 

 logically earlier than the record made by Mr. Penrose for Wells, 

 Norfolk, but were published at a later date. One recorded at Fair 

 Isle on August 5th, one on August 10th, two on August 21st, and 

 one on August 22nd, 1912 (W.Eagle Clarke, ' Scottish Naturalist,'
