30th of September to the 3rd of October, followed by a larger one from 

 the 8th to the 17th, and by another from the 21st to the 30th. These 

 influxes were chiefly observed at the Orkney. and Shetland stations and 

 down the east coast, but records of arrivals came also from the Outer 

 Hebrides, Tiree (Argyll), and the Solway Firth. After the oOth only 

 small movements were recorded. When the direction of flight was 

 noted it was to the south-west. During the first half of October, Red- 

 wings were arriving at Holy Island (Northumberland), at Spurn Head, 

 and in Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex and Kent. From the 16th 

 to the 18th passage-movements were noticed at Canterbury (Kent), and 

 arrivals were noted at Withernsea (Yorkshire) on the 19th/20th, and at 

 Overstrand (Norfolk) on the 23rd, while at the end of the month there 

 was a marked increase in Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire and Suffolk. 

 Between the 5th/6th and the 9th/10th of November a movement on a large 

 scale along the coast seems to have taken place, which was noted at 

 many stations between Withernsea and the Kentish Knock Light-vessel. 

 This movement was renewed at the Kentish Knock Light-vessel on the 

 14th/15th and at Spurn Head Light on the 20th/21st, after which date 

 migration seems to have stopped. From the 1st to the 10th Redwings 

 were reported as being very plentiful in Essex. 



On the west there was an irregular movement lasting throughout 

 October. It was noticed at many of the Welsh lights, more particularly at 

 Rardsey Light (Carnarvonshire) on the oth/6th, at Carnarvon Ray Light- 

 vessel on the 22ncl/23rd, and in Anglesey from the 23rd to the 2oth, while 

 during the first half of October small parties (if migrants were arriving in 

 Avrshire, Renfrewshire, Lanca-hire and North Devon, the numbers in 

 most cases increasing towards the end of the month. On the 3rd/4th of 

 November there was a marked passage at the South Stack Light 

 (Anglesey), and at Rardsey Light on the 5th/6th, and an occasional 

 passage was noticed at some of the Welsh lights up to the 18th/19th, 

 after which date migration practically ceased, though a few stragglers 

 were seen at Rardsey Light on the 28th/29th, and a large flock, probably 

 of weather migrants, at Oare (North Devon) on the 30th. 



On the south coast the only records during October were of a few 

 migrants observed at Hanois Light (Channel Islands) and the Eddystone 

 Light (Cornwall) on the 22nd/23rd. In November, with the exception 

 of influxes at St. Catherine's Light (Hampshire) on the 6th/7th and the 

 13th/14th, no movement was reported beyond that of insignificant 

 numbers observed at St. Catherine's Light, Hanois Light, and the 

 Eddystone Light at intervals between the 2nd/3rd and the 19th/20th. 



A few isolated movements were recorded inland. Flocks were seen 

 at Turvey (Eedfordshire) on the 14th of October, and small parties from 

 time to time in Surrey during the month. During November, Redwings 

 were numerous near Pontefract (Yorkshire) ; some were observed flying 

 south-west at Hampton-in-Arden (Warwickshire) on the 10th and tlie
