 April, 1881* Compiled by Mr. John A. Harvie-Brown, 

 F.R.S.E., &c, V.P. 



In pursuance of the plan of work as- regards Migration of Birds, 

 I am glad to say that our labours are now recognised by the 

 British Association.

 The present Report, though read at the meeting of January, 1881, has been 

 brought up to the following April, so as to include the whole winter. T 

 would direct attention to Mr. R. Warren's account of Ornithology in Mayo 

 and Sligo for 1880 (ZooL, April, 1881).
