Horns Rev L. V. The direction of flight against the 

 lantern cannot be well determined, the hirds hovering round 

 the light before striking. When the wind is blowing across 

 the ship most fall into the sea. No proper migration in 

 daytime has been observed this autumn. — Of sea-birds 

 two species of Gull (Strandmaage, Havmaage) are here during 

 the greater part of the year, yet more numerous in winter 

 than in summer. — N. Kromann. 



Hirtshals. This spring nearly no birds have Struck 

 the lantern; although all the species I use to see have 

 passed the place, only a single bird (a Starling) has been 

 killed as far as I know. — In the beginning of April a 

 couple of times larger fiocks of Grey Geese passed north; 

 in the sea were seen three old and two young Svvans. First 

 Woodcock probably in the first days of April. The Lap- 

 wing appeared here April gth. The »Ryle« came by the 

 middle of April. The Stork was seen April 24th. May ist 

 large flocks of birds under the coast; there were several 

 species of Sea-Ducks and no small numbers of Eiders. May 

 yth first Swallow. — October iqth; the Starlings are in 

 large fiocks inland and seem to be preparing for departure; 

 generally however a few are seen here in winter. — E. T. 

 B. Jensen. 



Skagen. The assistants say, that much fewer birds 

 have been killed than is generally the case (I have only 

 been here since September i885). — No sea-birds breed 

 near the Station; but during the greater part of the year 

 many Gulls are seen where the fishermen are at work. — 

 M. G. Poulsen.
