Note. The birds in all the above cases, except cases 124 and 312, are definitely 

 known to be British born birds, and therefore members of the British race (Tardus 

 philomelus clarkei, Hart.) of the species ; it is especially important to note this in 

 connection with the very interesting Portuguese record, case 102. The birds in 

 cases 124 and 312 might belong either to the British race or to the Continental 

 winter immigrant race {Turdus philomelus philomelus, Brehm).
