APPENDIX.
Mr. Gurney has received a batch of wings from the Leman and Ower L.V. off Cromer, taken from birds evidently killed last autumn; unfortunately they are not dated, so that much of their value as a record of migration is lost. They include Willow Wren, Wheatear, Snipe, Jack Snipe, Ring Dotterel, Robin, Sedge Warbler, Redstart, Fieldfare (three), Thrush, Blackbird, Titlark (five), Sky Lark, Chaffinch (three), Great Tit, Goldcrest, Reed Bunting, Wood Pigeon, Woodcock (two), Starling, Swallow, Martin, Sanderling, Tree Sparrow.
Pied Flycatcher.—With reference to Mr. J. Harvie Brown's remarks (see foot-note, [p. 100] of Report) on the arrival of Pied Flycatchers at the Isle of May and Pentland Skerries in the first week in May, 1885, it is interesting to learn that the same species is also reported in great numbers from Flamborough and Spurn at the same period, viz., the first week in May; it was also observed in Norfolk on the 9th. At Flamborough, as Mr. Bailey informed me, a great many came in on the 3rd, with a N.E. wind, and in company with male Redstarts. At Spurn, Mr. P. W. Lawton states that it has been more numerous than he ever before knew it. ('Naturalist,' June 1885, p. 250, foot-note).
Erratum.—[Page 71, line 29], for "September 30th," read "September 18th."
