A MONTH ON THE EDDYSTONE 317 



that the great movements south are witnessed. There 

 are a few notices of visits in late November and 

 December when severe weather prevailed on the main- 

 land. 



TuRDUS TORQUATUS, Riug-Ouzel. — Of regular 

 appearance in spring and autumn. Noted as passing in 

 spring from 5th to 28th April, and in autumn as moving 

 southwards from 3rd August 1886 (the only record for 

 the month), throughout September and October, and 

 down to 1 2th November. 



Saxicola cenanthe, Wheatear. — A visitor in 

 considerable numbers, and frequent during the spring 

 and autumn migrations. In spring it has occurred from 

 15th March to 30th May, many as late as 25th May. 

 In autumn it returns from ist August to 6th November, 

 but is not abundant after mid-October. 



Saxicola leucorriioa,^ Greater Wheatear. — Of this 

 Greenland, Icelandic, and North - Eastern American 

 Wheatear, I captured an example at the lantern on the 

 night of 1 6th October, and I received others which had 

 been killed by striking on 24th September 1903, and 

 on 5th October 1902. The wing measurements of these 

 birds ranged from 103 mm. to 105.5 mm. I have had 

 no specimens of this form sent to me as captured during 

 the spring movements, though it doubtless occurs. 



Pratincola rubicola, Stonechat. — I saw, and 

 captured, this species at the lantern on the nights of 

 1 2th to 13th and 14th to i6th October. Great move- 

 ments southwards were then in progress, and this species 

 was present in some numbers, and for some time, on 

 both occasions. 



Pratincola rubetra, Whinchat. — Figures in the 



^ Saxicola nmantJie leucorrhoa.
