MIGRATION AND OTHER ORNITHOLOGICAL NOTES. 
Garden Warbler (S. /wrtensis). — A few. had arrived on 
passage on September 14th and some more on 19th. An 
odd one was seen on October 18th, on which day there was 
an influx of Thrushes and Blackbirds. This species was not 
noticed on passage in spring, but had arrived in its breeding 
quarters by May loth. 
Dartford Warbler ( Melizophilus undatus dartfordiensis). 
— Up to the present I have not been able to find this species 
anywhere on the Suffolk coast. When Sir Edward Newton 
lived here it was certainly found in one or more localities 
not far distant, but since then ( i.e ., about twenty years ago) 
much of the gorse on the commons has been destroyed. 
The latest record I have of the bird is one seen near 
Aldeburgh about four or five years ago. 
Gold Crest (. Regulus cristatus ). — On September 15th two 
were taken on a boat 35 miles N. of Lowestoft, outside the 
Leman and Ower Long Shoal. They belonged to the British 
race (B. cristatus anglorum). On the 20th, the first was seen 
on the Denes, and from thence onwards a few were seen 
nearly every day up to the end of October ; on October 10th, 
13th, and November 4th, migrants were noted at Yarmouth, 
on the two latter days in some numbers. Owing to lack of 
a “ concentration area,” it was difficult to tell when any 
rushes occurred, but on several days during October passing 
birds were seen in gardens in the town. In the spring, 
numbers appeared at Yarmouth on March 30th and April 
20th, and there was an influx here on April 14th. All those 
examined by me belonged to the British race. 
Chiffchaff ( Phylloscopus rufus). — For some reason the 
ChiffchafF appears to be a very scarce breeding visitor to our 
neighbourhood ; only one was seen for certain on migration, 
viz., on Sept. 23rd. 
Willow Wren ( Ph . trochilus). — A few appeared on Sept. 
19th, but quickly passed on ; this and the Chiffchaff are two 
of the few species which sing during their autumnal migra-
