 28th of November. Two stragglers were seen passing the coast of

THE SOXG-TIIRUSH (Tunhis musicus). 



There seems to have been no marked movement of this species until 

 the 9th of September, when a large influx was reported from Mull 

 (Argyllshire), and from the 9tli to the 28rd there were signs of 

 migratory movements in Staffordshire. On the Isle of May (Fifeshire) 

 a few birds were observed throughout the mouth, but there was a 

 decided influx on the 29th, and it should be noted that all the birds killed 

 on that island during September belonged to the British race. On the 

 2oth many Thrushes were noticed flying south at St. Leonards-on-sea 

 (Sussex), and on the 29th/30th several small flocks were observed at 

 Ilanois Light (Guernsey). 



During the first half of October small parties were passinsr along the 



coast of Yorkshire, but on the 1.3th a migration on both sides of Great 



Britain began which lasted practically till the end of the mouth. 



Influxes were reported from North Ronaldsay (Orkney) on the 13th 



and 24th, from Fair Isle on the 14th (all killed were Continental birds), 



from the Pentland Skerries (Orkney) on the 14th and 20th/2lst, from 



the Isle of May (Fifeshire) on the 17th/18th (all killed were British 



birds), and from the Kentish Knock Light-vessel (Essex) on the loth/ 



16th, while during the same period birds were passing on the coasts of 



Yorkshire, Norfolk and Suffolk. After this the migration began to wane, 



though a few stragglers were noticed at the Outer Gabbard Light-vessel 



(Suffolk) on the 30th/31st and at the Kentish Knock Light-vessel on 



the 3rd of November. Song-Thrushes were particularly numerous in 



North Wiltshire from the 6th to the 14th of October, and at Bloxham 



(Oxfordshire) from the 24th of October to the 4th of November. 



On the west coast large numbers of birds were reported from Tiumpan 

 Head (Outer Hebrides) on the 13th of October, from Stornoway (Outer 

 Hebrides) from the 18th to the 20th, from Tiree (Argyllshire) from the 

 loth to the 21st, from the Chicken Rock Light (Isle of Man) from the 

 14th to the 19th and from Bardsey Island (Carnarvonshire) from the 

 13th to the 18th, while there was a decided infliLx at South Bishop Light 

 (Pembroke) on the 17th/18th and 27th/28th. 



After the middle of November, more particularly on the 16th/17th 

 and 20th/21st, the influxes were renewed at Bardsey Island Light and 

 the South Bishop Light. Towards the end of the month a few stragglers 

 were noticed at Morecambe Bay Light-vessel (Lancashire) and the
