Rh Sylvia cinerea. Whitethroat.—C. Abundant in summer all over the neighbourhood.

S. curruca. Lesser Whitethroat.—R.R. By no means so plentiful as S. cinerea.

S. atricapilla. Blackcap.—S. Occasionally observed in market-gardens, and near Fritton.

S. hortensis. Garden-Warbler.—S. Less often seen than even the Blackcap.

S. undata. Dartford Warbler.—R. Has twice been seen on North Denes. The second example was caught by a dog in a furze-bush, Feb. 25th, 1859 (B. of N.). In 1884 Sir Edward Newton saw one at Lowestoft.

Regulus cristatus. Golden-crested Wren.—C. Immense numbers arrive in autumn, usually first week in October, as was particularly the case in October, 1882, and again in October, 1898. Fishing-boats often swarmed with tired birds. Local, "Herring-spink."

R. ignicapillus. Fire-crested Wren.—R. Two or three times observed in the neighbourhood. A male in market-gardens, April, 1889. One caught on a smack at sea, December, 1881.

Phylloscopus rufus. Chiffchaff.—C. Used to be abundant in market-gardens in March.

P. trochilus. Willow-Wren.—C. Frequently seen and heard in neighbourhood on spring migration. A singular variety of a uniform pale yellow, becoming straw-coloured below, killed near Lowestoft in August, 1861 (B. of N.).

Acrocephalus streperus. Reed-Warbler.—F. C. Met with in the Broadland district; its name suggests its habitat. The nest has been observed at Ranworth, built in laurel-bushes by the water's edge (B. of N.).

A. phragmitis. Sedge-Warbler.—C. Found in every "carr," reed-clump, and waterside thicket. Heard at intervals night and day "chitty cha-ing" by the idler on the broads and rivers. Local, "Reed-bird."

Locustella nævia. Grasshopper- Warbler.— R. "Occasionally met with, but rare" (Paget). As a county visitant it is by no means numerous.

L. lusciniodes. Savi's Warbler.—A. A nest of this species is said to have been found near Yarmouth, which was sent to Mr. Newcome's collection at Feltwell (B. of N. vol. i. p. 113).
