coast which was more particularly noticed at Bardsey Light (Carnarvon- 

 shire) on the 5th/6th, at Carnarvon Bay Light-vessel on the 21st/22nd, 

 and in Anglesey on the 24th. On the south coast there was an influx at 

 St. Catherine's Light on the 2nd/3rd (both forms procured), and 

 smaller numbers were also reported from Hanois Light (Channel 

 Islands) (both races), and from the Eddystone Light (Cornwall) at 

 intervals during the month. In Scotland there was a great arrival at 

 luchkeith and at the Pentland Skerries on the 9th ; and another 

 large movement took place on the 13th and 14th, which was noted at 

 many stations on the east coast. From the 22nd to the 30th a series 

 of influxes took place in the Northern Isles, the Hebrides, and on both 

 sides of the mainland. It is probable that in all these cases the majority 

 of the birds, if not all, belonged to the Continental form. 



During November migration was noted at the Dudgeon Light-vessel 

 (Norfolk) on the 6th/7th and the 16th/17th,and small parties of migrants 

 were noticed at various parts of the east coast till the 18th/19th ; 

 irregular movements of insignificant numbers were reported from 

 Hanois Light from the 1st to the 15tb, and an influx at the Eddystone 

 Light on the 15th/16th. Thrushes were moving in great numbers along 

 the west coast from the Chicken Bock Light to Lundy (North Devon) 

 between the 1st and the 18th/19th, numbers being reported from North 

 Light (Lundy Island) on the 2nd/3rd, the Chicken Bock Light on the 

 3rd/4th, Carnarvon Bay Light-vessel on the 7th/8th and 15th/16th, and 

 South Bishop Light (Pembroke) and Bardsey Light on the ]4th/15th. 

 In Scotland there was an influx at the Isle of May on the 3rd/4th 

 and at Inchkeith on the 4th/5th, after which date the November move- 

 ments, though constant, were small, and a few birds on passage were 

 noted up to the 5th of December. After the 19th of November migra- 

 tion was practically over on all other parts of the coast, though a few 

 stragglers were observed at some of the western lights up to the 

 19th/20th of December. 



THE BED WING (Turdus iliacus). 



The migration of this species began towards the middle of September 

 when Redwings were observed in localities as far apart as Cheltenham 

 (Gloucestershire) on the 14th, Auskerry (Orkney) on the loth, Thanet 

 (E. Kent) on the 16th, Tarbatuess Light (E. Ross-shire) on the 20th, 

 Fair Isle (Shetland) on the 21st, the Isle of May (Fife) on the 26th, and 

 Spurn Head (Yorkshire) on the 24th, the 26th and 28th. 



With the advent of October migration became more general, and 

 apparently reached its height during the first ten days of November. On 

 the east coast the area of arrival extended from the Shetlands 1o Kent. 

 In Scotland three large movements were noticed between the 29th of 

 September and the 30th of October. The first of these was from the
