The Roller, _Coracias garrula_, occurred in October in two localities, one in Lincolnshire, the other in Suffolk.

Altogether there has been a very marked absence along our east coast of rare and casual visitants; Heligoland, however, retains its pre-eminence for rare wanderers, and Mr. Gätke's list for 1883 includes _Turdus varius_, _Pratincola rubicola_ var. _indicus_, _Phylloscopus superciliosus_, _Hypolais pallida_, _Motacilla citriola_, _Anthus cervinus_, _A. richardi_, _Oriolus galbula_, _Lanius major_, _Muscicapa parva_, _Linota exilipes_, _Emberiza melanocephala_, _E. cirlus_, _E. rustica_, _E. pusilla_, _Pastor roseus_, and _Xema Sabinii_. _Note._--At page 47, under the head "_Coracias garrula_, Roller," the locality of Bradwell is erroneously given in Norfolk, instead of Suffolk (2½ miles S.W. of Great Yarmouth).

Schedules were sent to thirty-four stations, as in previous years. We have received filled schedules from seventeen stations. Generally the returns are very light, still lighter than last year. We have notes on about thirty-nine species of land birds from this coast; about twenty species of water birds; and about eight species of littoral species, or wading birds. The spring migration, for sake of uniformity with the East Coast, I have kept separate. Weather notes are included in the General Remarks. List of Stations. '79 '80 '81 '82 '83 * * * 81.
