known to breed, annually, on the furze-covered liills of the first- 
named locality, and the Kedstart, as a resident, is rare in that 
neighbourhood. The Eedstarts were nearly all in immature or 
female dress. 
Amongst other migratory notes for September, may be noticed 
a record by Mr. Cordeaux', in the ‘Zoologist,’ that on the 1st, 
about 2 a.m., a Hock of Swallows beat against the lantern of 
Ilasboro light. I find the last dates for Swifts were Caister 19th, 
Lowestoft 20th, and Cley 22nd. Swallows were in plenty at the 
latter place up to the 23rd when the last Sand !Martin was seen by 
Mr. Power. Another gathering of House Martins occurred on the 
chapel roof, by my house, on the 3rd, upwards of fifty congregating 
by seven a.m. which had all loft by eleven, and only a few°wero 
seen after that date. The wind was S.S.W. early, but changed to 
N.N.E. in the afternoon, but the heat was intense, 84 degrees in the 
shade. Only a few stragglers of Pedstarts and AVheatcars were 
seen about Northropps this month, but (as .Mr. J. If. Gurney, Jun., 
ndorms me) Mr. F. D. Power, at Cley, found both this species and 
common M''hitethroats plentiful amongst the scanty cover on the 
beach, at lllakeney, up to the 23rd and 2Gth. A Yellow Wa^rtail 
was also seen on the 23rd, and a Sedge Warbler was heard on°the 
2Sth. On the 30th ho found Woodcocks in a plantation, in the 
same neighbourhood, but none on the coast, In my own garden 
1 saw a jSTghtingalo for the last time on the 2nd, Common White- 
throat and Chiflchaff on the 14tli, and a Lesser Whitethroat on the 
Oh and loth; the first of this species I have seen .so near the 
City, but the call notes of my aviary birds are an attraction to manv 
A birdoatcher brought me one alive about the .same time. 
Little Terns were seen at Cley on the 14th, Common and Arctic 
on the 20th, and 27th. At Xorthrei^ps, on the IGtli, ]tlr. J. H. 
Gurney, Jun., saw two large and apparently migratory flocks of 
Long-t.ailod Tits and at the same time and place he shot a Siskin 
an early date for this species, but I heard of considerable flocks of 
these birds on the Denes at Lowestoft, Suffolk, near the end of 
Sejitcmber, and “ clouds ” of them are said this month to have ap- 
peared at Heligoland. Mr. Conleaux also (‘Zoologist,’ 1880, p, 48G) 
gives September 9th for the appearance of a large flock of Fieldfare.s 
in >7orfolk. Of other arrivals Mr. Power observed, at Clev the 
Pock Pipit on the 22nd ; Tree Sparrow, 23rd ; and Grey WaUiil
