Greenfinch, _Ligurinus chloris_ (Linn.).--On Sept. 12th, 10 a.m., N.N.W. (7), o.m., at Hunstanton L.H., large flocks came in. At Spurn, Oct. 25, 26th and 27th, small flocks, female and immature. Heligoland, Oct. 18th, some. Immense numbers congregated in the marsh district of North-east Lincolnshire, late in October and early in November; females and young of the year, old males about one in a thousand. The aggregated flocks, numbering many thousands, frequenting the stubble fields for some weeks, where they, found an inexhaustible supply of food in the corn threshed out by the great gale in harvest time, on Aug. 22nd.
Sparrow, _Passer domesticus_ (Linn.).--At the Outer Dowsing L.V., fifty-three miles S.S.E. of Spurn, on April 15th, ten common Sparrows on board, travelling from S.E. to W. In the autumn occurred at several stations from the East Godwin L.V., on Sept. 9th and 10th, to Corton L.V., Dec. 19th, none occurring at stations north of the Outer Dowsing; line of flight E. to W., or S.E. to N.W. Sometimes remaining all day on board the light-vessels, or spending the night there.
Tree Sparrow, _Passer montanus_ (Linn.).--None north of Spurn, but south of this at several stations, as far as the Godwin L.V.'s, in October and early in November. In North-east Lincolnshire large flocks of both species came in with the Greenfinches, feeding with them in the same localities.
Chaffinch, _Fringilla cœlebs_, Linn.--First at Spurn, Oct. 9th, females and young; last at Gull L.V., Nov. 13th, 8 a.m. to noon; continuous to W. with Linnets. None recorded north of Spurn. Large numbers crossed Heligoland, Oct. 3 8th or 24th, with Bramblings.
Brambling, _Fringilla montifringilla_, Linn.--Spurn, Oct. 3rd, single old males; 26th, one or two; 27th, flock of about two hundred males: examples obtained had their stomachs filled with the husked seed of the common charlock. Bramblings passed Heligoland on the 24th with _F. cœlebs_ and _L. cannabina_. E., very strong; and again some Nov. 30th.
Linnet, _Linota cannabina_ (Linn.).--Gull L.V., Nov. 13th, 8 a.m. to noon, with Chaffinches, continuous to W.
Mealy Redpole, _Linota linaria_ (Linn.).--Spurn, considerable flight night of Oct. 24th; subsequently observed in small flocks, twenty to thirty, more generally three or four together, on stalks of ragwort or _Aster Tripolium_; a few old males, very light coloured and mealy looking, having the breast and rump washed with crimson-rose, which colour some kept in captivity retained throughout the winter. Out of twenty-four obtained during the last week in October twenty-two were males, either old or young. Examples shot, from the same flock showed great disparity both in the length and depth of the bill, indicating probably an immigration from widely separated districts in Scandinavia. These Redpoles were feeding on seeds of _Scirpus maritimus_ and _Daucus Carota_, rejecting the husks. Very large numbers crossed Heligoland in October, and again on Nov. 30th, and almost daily in December to 20th. At the Inner Farne L.H., on Oct. 6th, many were noticed.
