RECOVERY OF MARKED BIRDS. 



The following have kindly sent in subscriptions towards the expenses 

 of the Marking Scheme since the last acknowledgment was made : — 

 Messrs. R. O. Blyth, A. W. Boyd, N. Chaplin, T. A. Coward, Miss 

 M. and Mr. D. G. Garnett, Sir Richard Graham, Messrs. J. F. Greenwood, 

 J. M. Goodall, T. C. Hobbs, Miss S. M. Heysham, Miss A. C. Jackson, 

 Captain W. Mackenzie, Messrs. R. .E. Knowles, A. Mayall, Dr. H. J. 

 Moon, North London Natural History Society, Messrs. F. W. Oliver, 

 E. F. and J. K. Stanford, R. J. Ussher, and E. A. Wallis. 



I may mention that subscriptions are especially welcome just now 

 as the inquiry has grown to such large dimensions that it is impossible 

 to proceed further without making a complete card-catalogue of all 

 the rings used, and this will be a large additional expense. — H.F.W.
