denied in the ‘Ibis’ list to such examples as possess a 
u hite ear-streak, ■which is abseut in the true M. oiuereicapilla 
{A[. viricUs of Gmelin), it is interesting to find that there 
exists in Mr. Thomas Boynton’s collection, in York.shire, 
an example precisel}' like the Norfolk one, Avhich was 
obtained by him from Dr. lY. W. Boulton, Avho purchased 
it from Pratt of Brighton, where it was shot in 18G7. The 
true M. cinereicapilla is found in the northern poi’tion 
of the Palnearctic Region, and it is probable that the 
individuals killed in Norfolk and Sussex had a northern 
origin. Our bird Avas shot on May 2nd {cf. ‘Annals of 
Natural History,’ 184-2, p. 353). 
No. 102. Serin Finch (Serinus hortidanus). The slight 
amount of hesitation avo had in including this southern 
species in our list has been removed by the capture of 
a male bird on the Yarmouth Denes on February 5th, 1887, 
particulars of Avhich Avill be found, ante p. 392, furnished by 
Mr. Stevenson, aa Iio saw it in the flesh.
