THE WILLOW- WARBLER {PhijUoscopits trochilus). 



On July the olst au increase was noted in Devonsliire, but these 

 birds passed on during the first few days of August. 



Another increase was noted in Devon on August the 20th and in 

 Berkshire on August the 27th : these also passed rapidly on. 



On August the 22nd some were noted at Eddystone light (Cornwall). 



During the first ten days of September many were noted on migra- 

 tion in Lincoln, Sussex and Lancashire. 



On September the 18th it was noted at St. Catherine's light (Isle of 

 Wight), on the 19th on migration in Cornwall and on the 21st in Devon, 

 while an increase in that county was recorded on the 26th. 



By the end of the month moat of the birds had gone. 



THE MEADOW-PIPIT {Anthus pratensis). 



The first immigrants were recorded from the Lincoln coast on 

 September the 19th, on September the 24th it was recorded from Sussex 

 lights, and on October the 11th from Eddystone light (Cornwall). 



A few were noted as immigrants at the Essex lights on October the 

 12th, and the first arrivals were seen in Devon on October the 22nd. 



On November the 1st and 2nd many were recorded at the Norfolk and 

 Suffolk lights, and a few were observed on the 8th and 9th going west. 



They were recorded at Eddystone on the 7th, 13th, and 25th of 

 November, and at Bishop Rock light (Scilly Islands) on the 10th. 



Like the Thrushes, this species migrated before the cold wave at the 

 end of December. 



THE SWALLOW {Hirimdo rustica). 

 THE HOUSE-MARTIN {Chelidotiwbica). 



From the scattered records it can only be said that during August the 

 raigTatory movement started throughout the country, increasing towards 

 the end of the month. 



During September migratory movements were noted nearly every day 

 in one or another county. 



There does not seem to have been any particularly large migration 

 on any given day, and no migratory waves can be traced. 



During October the amount of migratory Swallows decreased con- 

 siderably, and a few scattered l)irds were noted in November. 



No records of the House-Martin were received in October.
