. British birds. Birds. nOTES. PARROT-CROSSBILL IN NORFOLK. As well identified examjales of the Parrot-Crossbill {Loxia pytyopsittacus) seem to be very few in number, I think it important to record the following midoubted sjieciraen from Norfolk. Mr. Pashley, of Clej^, told mo. that a bird he believed to be the Parrot-Crossbill was taken by a gamekeeper named John Forsdick, at Langham, a few miles inland, in September 1907. The specimen was lost sight of imtil the other day, when Pashley fomid the head only, the bird having been so knocked about when shot, that it was not worth mounting. The wing measurements were thus unfortimately lost, but I submitted the skull to Mr. Witherby and Dr. Hartert, who have both been kind enough to examine it with the utmost care, and express the opinion that it is a true Parrot-Crossbill. The bird was in red plumage, and api3arently an adult male. Clifford Borrer. EARLY NEST OF REED-WARBLER WITH CUCKOO'S EGG. Last year I recorded {British Birds, IX., p, 48) an early nest of the Reed-Warbler at Tring Reservoirs, Hertfordshire. This year, on May 14th, at the same place, Miss A. C. Jackson and I foimd a nest containing four Reed-Warbler's eggs and one Cuckoo's egg. This is a much earlier date than I have ever known Reed-Warblers to have eggs here, and so therefore is it for a Cuckoo's egg in a Reed-Warbler's nest. I have not myself found one of our " Reed-Warbler Cuckoo's " eggs before June 8th, but we have one taken by the keeper on May 23rd, 1907, from a Sedge-Warbler's nest. For fifteen years I have known this Cuckoo or these Cuckoos at the Tring Reservoirs to lay in Reed-Warblers' nests, and I onl}^ know of the one case of a Cuckoo's egg here in a Sedge-Warbler's nest. I doubt if there is more than one female, because all the eggs, of which I have altogether seen fifteen and of which twelve are now in the Tring Mt;seum, are so much alike that they might well be eggs of one female. It would be interesting to know what the C
