A kind of coccothraustes calld a [cobble _crossed out_] coble bird[40] bigger than a Thrush, finely coloured & shaped like a Bunting [it comes _crossed out_] it is [sometimes _crossed out_] chiefly [_written above_] seen [about _crossed out_] in su[=m]er about cherrie time. [40] The Hawfinch was evidently not a very well-known bird in Browne's time, either to himself or Willughby; the latter says, "it is said to build in holes of trees." It has steadily increased in frequency as a breeding species with us for the last twenty years. [fol. 16 _verso._] A small bird of prey[41] [_something smeared out here_] calld a birdcatcher about the bignesse of a Thrush and linnet coloured with a longish white bill & sharpe of a very feirce & wild nature though kept in a cage & fed with flesh. [_Added after in same hand but fresher ink_] a kind of Lanius [Lanius _crossed out and written more distinctly under_]. [41] This paragraph is written on the back of fol. 16. The Red-backed Shrike, _Lanius collurio_, is the only species of Lanius mentioned by Browne; it is singular that he omits all mention of another bird, and that an essentially Norfolk species which would have been new to the _Pinax_--the Bearded Titmouse, afterwards known to Edwards as the Least Butcher Bird. Browne certainly sent a drawing of this bird to Ray, who in his "Collection of English words not generally used" (1674), as pointed out by Mr. Gurney, mentions it as a "little Bird of a tawny colour on the back, and a blew head, yellow bill, black legs, shot in an Osiar yard, called by Sr. Tho. for distinction sake silerella," the drawing of which he acknowledges he had received. Pennant, 1768 ("Brit. Zool.," i., p. 165), follows Edwards ("Nat. Hist. of Birds," &c., 1745), who classes it with the Laniidæ, and it was not till long after, and as the result of much discussion, that it was finally established as the only representative of a new genus under the name of _Panurus biarmicus_. The local name is Reed Pheasant, but Browne's name of Silerella seems an exceedingly appropriate one.
