MIGRATION AND OTHER ORNITHOLOGICAL NOTES. 613 
town. Coastal movement of this species was not detected in 
the autumn, nor did it come under observation in the spring. 
Linnet ( Linota cannabina ). — What I have already stated 
(Vol. ix., p. 418) on the migration of this species was fully 
corroborated this season. The huge coastal migration started 
on September 12th, and continued right on till November 22nd, 
reaching a maximum in the second and third weeks of October. 
Although there appear to be few, if a.ny, Linnets in our 
immediate neighbourhood in the winter, yet I have seen a few 
flocks on the agricultural fields further inland at this season. 
In the spring, as in the previous season, movements were noted 
which suggest two streams of migration ; thus from March 27th 
up to April 28th flocks were noted practically every day coasting 
north ; on March 9th and during the last week of the month, 
and on many days in April, flocks were seen coasting south. 
The local breeding birds arrived in their quarters about April 
15th. One was taken on a boat off the Dutch coast on April 23rd. 
Twite (L. flavirostris ). — The first flocks were noted at 
Yarmouth on October 6th, and at Thorpe Mere on the 10th. 
On the 19th, many were reported to me from Yarmouth, where 
flocks were also coasting south. This species was doubtless 
overlooked here on passage. 
Yellow Bunting ( Emberiza citrinella ). — One of the 
features of the autumn migration was the movements of this 
species and the Reed Bunting. On September 29th, there was 
a large arrival, and the marram grass was full of both species. 
Numbers of Yellow Bunting were noted at Thorpe Mere on 
October 10th. Some were seen here coasting south on the 
19th and again on the 24th, both here and at Southwold ; more 
again coasting on the 26th and on November 13th, on both 
days there being also an increase in numbers in the marrams. 
Not observed on spring passage. 
Reed Bunting ( E . schoeniclus ). — A few arrived on Sep- 
tember 23rd, and some passed on to the south. On the 29th a 
large arrival, and some stayed several days ; another arrival on 
October 11th, but these passed on quickly. Some were seen 
coasting south at Southwold on the 24th and here on the 26th.
