and the 20th of May, of the Sand-Martin between the 13th 

 of March and the 15th of May, of the Chiffchaff between the 

 Gth of March and the <Sth of May, and of the Wheatear 

 (both races) between the 12th of March and the 12th of May, 

 covered the longest periods among the species recorded ; 

 while those of the Reed-Warbler between the 18th of April 

 and the 5th of May, of the Wood-Warbler between the 9th 

 of April and the 11th of May, and of the Nightingale 

 between the 13th of April and the 5th of May, occupied the 

 shortest time. 



The following is a list of the species showing the routes by 

 which they appear to have reached this country. In a few 

 instances, where the evidence was incomplete, the species have 

 been placed in that section which the data seemed to indicate ; 

 the others, which are somewhat doubtfully placed, must be 

 considered in conjunction with their corresponding foot- 

 notes : — 



A. Species arriving solely on the western half of the south 



coast. 

 rung-Ouzel*, Grasshopper- Warbler, Pied Flycatcher*, 

 Land-Rail. 



B. Species arriving along the wliole of the south coast, but 



chiefly on its western half. 

 Wheatear, Redstart, Common Whitethroat, Blackcap, 

 Chiffchaff, Willow -Warbler, Wood -Warbler, White 

 Wagtail, Spotted Flycatcher, Swallow, House-Martin, 

 Sand-Martin, Swift, Cuckoo, Common Sandpiper *. 



C. Species arriving along the whole of the south coast, but 



chiefly on its eastern half. 

 Whinchat, Lesser Whitethroat, Garden -Warbler, 

 Sedge- Warbler, Yellow Wagtail, Nightjar. 



* Arrivals on the eastern half of the south coast were probably those 

 of passage-migrants only.
