tion. This species was not so numerous as I should have 
expected in the autumn migration, perhaps this was more 
apparent than real, as in the case of Gold Crest, and due to 
lack of “ concentration area.” In the spring, the first was 
heard on April 14th, about which date the first few evidently- 
arrived ; there was a further arrival on April 22nd and 30th, 
but no great number, some of these passed on; on May 15th 
six were brought in to me which had been caught on a boat 
some miles out from here. 
Reed Warbler ( Acrocephalus streperus). — Still some in 
their haunts on September 23rd ; some singing on the 20th ; 
none had arrived by April 30th. 
Sedge Warbler (A. phragmitis). — Not seen on autumn 
migration. Had arrived numerously in haunts by April 30th. 
Hedge Accentor ( Accentor modularis). — This is another 
species of which it is difficult to be sure of its movements. 
There was a distinct passing increase on September 19th and 
again on 21st and 28th, but no further movements were for 
I certain detected. The only migrant specimen examined 
belonged to the British race ( A . modularis occidenlalis). 
Bearded Reedling ( Panurus biarmicus). — Although I 
strongly suspect that this bird still occurs in one spot not 
far distant from Lowestoft, up to now I have not met 
with it. 
British Long-tailed Tit ( Acredula c. rosea). — A flock 
working south along the Denes on October 19th and 25th ; 
a flock going south was seen at Yarmouth on November 10th. 
Continental Great Tit ( Pams major major).- — The first 
migrants were seen on the Denes on October 1st; on the 
10th, migrant flocks were seen in the Park at Yarmouth ; 
after the N.E. gale of October 13th and 14th four specimens 
were found on the tide-mark; on the 19th numbers mixed 
with Greenfinches and in flocks by themselves were passing 
down the coast from north to south in the early morning; 
on the 21st numbers were again noted at Yarmouth, and on
