(Cornwall) and St. Catherine's (Isle of Wiglit) lights, presumably 

 emigrants, while during the latter part of the month there were more 

 numerous records of emigi'ants at these and at Hanois light (Channel 

 Islands), though the steady stream of immigrants to the east coast was 

 maintained. 



On November the 1st many were still coming in from the east, but 

 after that date the numbers diminished, and after the lOtli nearly all 

 the records were those of emigrants at the Channel lights. 



Like many other species, Sky-Larks were observed migrating west- 

 wards before the cold weather in December. 



THE STARLING {Stumus vulgaris). 



Nearly every day during October this species was noted mipi-ating in 

 flocks along the east coast (Lincoln to Kent). Especially extensive 

 immigrations were noted at the east coast lights on the 9th, 10th, 11th, 

 and 12th, together with Sky-Larks, Thrushes, &c., this species being 

 noted at no less than seven east coast lights on the 11th, the breadth of 

 the wave extending from Lincoln to Kent. 



Dunns' the first half of October only two records were received from 

 the south coast lights, a few emigrants at St. Catherine's (Isle of 

 Wight) on the 10th and Eddystone (Cornwall) on the 11th ; but daring 

 the latter half of October, while the emigrant records from the south 

 coast lights increased in frequency (Scilly, Cornwall, Devon, Hants, 

 Channel Islands), the records of immigrants on the east coast were rather 

 less frequent. 



By November the 3rd the immigration at the east coast had practically 

 ceased, but the number of records of emigrants at the south coast lights 

 greatly increased, flocks being noted every day up till the loth, after 

 which date the records are onlv scattered ones. 



THE ROOK [Corvusfrugilerjus). 

 THE HOODED CROW ( Corvus comix). 



There was some evidence to show that these species arrived almost 

 daily on the east coast during the month of October, the numbers in- 

 creasing as the month advanced. 



THE JACKDAW {CWous monedula). 



This species was also noted as an E. to W, migrant on the east coast 

 at the end of October, usuaily in company with Kookrf.
