LIST OK NORFOLK BIRDS. 
91. IvEED Bunting {Etnberiza schccniclus). 
A resident, and common in suitable localities. A single wing 
received from the “ Leman and Ower ” light-vessel shows it 
to be migratory. 
92. Bunting {Emberiza miliaria). 
This bird is resident and tolerably abundant, particularly in 
March, when a migratory movement takes place. 
93. Yellow Hammer {Emberiza citrinella). 
A^ery common everywliere. 
94. CiRL Bunting {Emberiza cirliis). 
Two undoubted specimens of this bird -were obtained at Ilickling 
in the autumn of 1875 by Mr. E. T. Booth; others arc said 
to have occurred in 1849 and 1855, but the records are not so 
satisfactory as could be wished. 
95. Ortolan Bunting {Emberiza Jiortulana). 
An immature male ivas shot by Mr. F. D. Power from among 
some Linnets at Cley, September 12th, 1884 (Trans. Norfolk and 
Norwich Nat. Soc. vol. iv. p. 40). Enormous numbers were seen 
on Heligoland the same week (Sixth Keport on Migration, p. 51). 
I’revious occurrences in Norfolk are all very ij[uestionable. 
9G. Chaffinch {Fringilla cceiebs). 
A very abundant resident : it is also one of the commonest 
species taken on migration at our lloating light-ships. 
97. Brajibling {Fringilla montifringilla). 
A winter visitant, varying very much in abundance. In the winter 
of 1885-8G they were very numerous, not only in Norfolk, but in 
many other parts of England. There is a variety of this bird -which 
has a black chin : it has been obtained five or six times in Norfolk ; 
but a still rarer variety with a white chin, like a chevcril Goldfinch, 
was lately killed at Yarmouth. — G. 
98. Tree Sparrow {Passer montanus'). 
This species, formerly regarded as rare and extremely local, has 
proved to be more generally distributed than was thought to be 
the case. In summer small colonies affect pollard trees (generally 
in the neighbourhood of water), in holes, in which they make their 
nests ; but occasionally a domed nest is constructed in the
