222 KOTES ON" BIEDS OBSERVED IN HEETFOELSHIEE, 



and very acceptable reports, of the arrival of some four or five 

 species among our numerous summer migrants. Respecting the 

 cuckoo, the nightingale, the swallow, the martin, and the swift, 

 I am fortunate in always I'eceiving definite information. May I 

 appeal to our members to extend the sphere of their observations ; 

 the habits of the willow- wren, the chiff-chaff, the white-throats, 

 the melodious blackcap, the sedge-warbler, the flycatcher, the wag- 

 tails, the sand-martin, the wryneck, the turtle-dove, the corn-crake, 

 and many others, are equally worthy of our attention ; while the 

 arrival of our spring, autumn, and winter visitors — the fieldfare, 

 the redwing, the ring-ousel, the woodcock, the snipe, the great 

 grey shrike, the siskin, the redpole, the brambling, the hooded 

 crow, etc. — is, if possible, of still greater interest. In again thank- 

 ing our members for their past favours, may I venture to solicit 

 still further assistance in the direction indicated.
