the first was recorded from Denbigh. On October the 27th many 

 were recorded from Hanois light, and on the 29th there was an influx 

 into Lincoln. 



Large numbers were recorded on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd of November 

 from the east coast lights (Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex) going west. 



From the 9th to the loth this species was recorded every night in large 

 numbers at tlie Scillj, Cornwall, Isle of Wight and Channel Island 

 lights : these were presumably emigrants. 



Like the Thrush, this species was noted migrating west before the 

 cold wave at the end of December. 



THE BLACKBIRD {Turdns memla). 



A few migratory birds were noted in Lincoln on September tlie 

 20tli and at Haisboro' light (Norfolk) on October the 2nd, going 

 south-west. 



On October the 14th, 19th, 22nd, and 23rd immigrants were noted at 

 the Norfolk and Sutlblk liglits : while from the I9th to the 22nd large 

 numbers of emigTtints were noted at the Cornwall, Hants and Channel 

 Island lights. 



From November the 1st to the 3rd large numbers of immigrants were 

 noted at the east coast lights (Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex and Kent) ; 

 while from November the 9th to the 15th emigrants were recorded 

 in large numbers from the Scilly Island, Cornwall, Hants and Channel 

 Island lights. Small emigrations were noted from the 22nd to the 26th 

 at the same lights. 



As was the case with the other Thrushes, this species was noticed 

 migrating west before the cold weather at the end of December. 



THE WHEATEAR {Saxicda oenunthe). 



The departure of this species was not easy to detect. During the last 

 week in August it was recorded on migration in Lancashire, and on the 

 26th and 27th it was noted at Eddystone light (Cornwall). 



During the first ten days of September a few were seen migrating on 

 the Lancashire, Denbigh and Lincoln coasts and in Wiltshire. On the 

 14th a great increase was noted in Lincoln ; on the 18th a few were 

 recorded at Hanois light (Channel Islands) : and on the 19tli a further 

 increase was noted in Lincoln and many at the Hanois and St. Cathe- 

 rine's (Isle of Wight) lights. By the 22nd most of the migratory 

 AVheatears had left Lincolnshire, and another emigration ■was noted at 

 Hanois light on that night and again on the 24th. 



At the end of September the numbers had diminished considerably, 

 and in the early part of October tlie last few stragglers were recorded — 

 the last lighthouse record being on October the lOth, when a few were 

 seen at St. Catherine's.
