A MONTH ON THE EDDVSTONE 313 



Regulus regulus, Goldcrest. — I have only a single 

 record for the spring — namely, for 2nd April 1902, when 

 one killed at the lantern was sent to me. 



In autumn it has occurred from iith September, 

 throughout October, and as late as 25th November. 

 Like most of the other migrants, it has never been 

 observed during the hours of daylight. 



Sylvia sylvia, Whitethroat. — As a summer visitor 

 to Britain, and later as a bird of passage, it has 

 occurred from the end of April (28th, earliest record) 

 until as late as 24th May, and is not unfrequent in its 

 appearances at the lantern. 



The autumn return movements commence at the end 

 of August, are in progress throughout September, and 

 have occurred on 5th October, the latest date on which 

 specimens have been obtained and forwarded. 



Sylvia atricapilla. Blackcap. — There is only a 

 single record for spring — namely, that of one killed 

 between 12 and 2 a.m. on 12th April 1902, which was

As an autumn emigrant and bird of passage, it has 

 been observed from mid-September down to the first 

 half of October. One captured on 22nd November 

 1886 was sent to me.
