My dear Sir,

 27 October, 1905. 



I take it as a great compliiiieiit tliat you should wisii to republish my little uote on 



the Naumann Festival, and most gladly give my consent to your request, while I remain, 



with very high esteem, 



Yours most faithfully 



Alfred Newton. 



Dear Sir, 



5 February, 1906 



From my publication „Recensio critica etc." and „The Mctiiod of Ornithophaenology" 

 you will certainly have been iible to recognise the endeavours of the Hungarian Central 

 Bureau of Ornithology and this encourages me to appeal to your kindness with a request. 



Mr. Jacob Schenk, Assistant of the Hungarian Central Bureau of Ornithology has for 

 many years been collecting the data relating to Cuculus canorus, in order to determine 

 the migration of this bird on a positive basis for the whole range of its distribution. Up 

 till now we possess already more than 30.000 positive data, but certain districts still remain 

 uncovered, several of them for the reason, that we mere not able to find any literary 

 records. 



From England we are without the fallowing : 



1856 — 62. Stark: Report of the Meteorology of Scotland, Edinburgh. 



1863 80. Journal of the Scottish Meteorological Society Edinburgh. 



As I have to my regret no connection with the English Ornithophaenologists, and as 

 you have oftered, through our common friend Dr. 0. Finsch, to procure me material, I venture 

 to ask you to have somebody make an extract of the migration-data concerning Cuculus 

 canorus from the above mentioned records, at the expense of the Hungarian Central Bureau 

 of Ornithology. 



By this you will, my dear Professor, not only greatly oblige the Institute but also 

 myself. 



Please accept the expression of my highest esteem, 



Yours faithfully 



0. H.

 My dear Sir, 



Most gladly will I try to supply the information for which you ask; but I am not 

 sure that it will be in my power to do so. I am not acquainted witli the Journal of the 

 Scottish Meteorological Society or Mr. Stark's Reports, and I do not know whether we 

 have either one or the other in Cambridge, but I may be able to get them from Edinburgh. 

 But be assured that 1 will do my best to procure the observations needed, and believe me, 

 with very high respect, to be 



Yours faithfully 



Alfred Newton.
