MIGRATION AND OTHER ORNITHOLOGICAL NOTES.

Hawfinch ( Coccothraustes vulgaris). — I have no certain 
record of this bird as a migrant, but two birds were taken on 
the Yarmouth Denes on January 7th and 20th. 
Tree Sparrow ( Passer montanus). — On several days from 
October 1st to 18th flocks were seen passing south along the 
coast. On October 81st a flock was seen migrating north, 
and on the next day a flock passing up the coast from the 
south turned inland and went N.W. A few birds of this 
species pass the winter in the neighbourhood frequenting 
stack-yards, etc., but migrants were seen passing north along 
the coast on April 13th. On the 20th a flock was seen coast- 
ing south. 
Chaffinch ( Fringilla ccelebs). — The first migrants were 
noted on September 22nd and 30th. Almost every day (but 
not during the N.E. gale on October 13th and 14th) during 
October and up to November 8th, flocks were seen coasting 
to the south, but not nearly in such numerous flocks as the 
Greenfinches and Linnets. On October 31st a few flocks 
were coasting north, and. on November 1st and 2nd some 
flocks were seen which came along the coast from the south 
and turned inland to the N.W. The last migrants were seen 
going south on November 26th. As with the other finches 
this species did not appear so numerously on the spring 
passage ; the first movement was seen on March 22nd when 
several small lots were seen to work along the hedges until 
they came to the coast when they flew high up to the S.E. 
over the sea. On the 28th, 30th, and 31st a few flocks were 
coasting to the north and again on April 9th and 13th. On 
the 17th several flocks were coasting south. 
Brambling ( F . viontifringilla). — The first was seen at Yar- 
mouth on October 1st. On the 5th one came aboard a boat 
off the South Ower Buoy off the Norfolk coast. On the 10th 
many were reported from a boat 14 miles E. of the Spurn 
(Yorkshire) flying W.S.W. to land and one was brought in to 
me ; on the 12th one was picked up on the tide mark. The
