20 miles and another 25 miles as being found near home, 

 while the shortest distance recorded of those included 

 in " away " is 40 miles. The records are insufficient to 

 show whether movement is influenced by weather con- 

 ditions, but the fact that the majority of those reported 

 at or near home have been before January 1st, while the 

 larger number of those reported " away " have been after 

 that date, is a slight indication that weather has an 

 influence. On the other hand, movements even as far 

 as France and Portugal in November are not very likely 

 to have been influenced by severe weather. The summary 

 shows that the main movement is to Ireland, though 

 France and Portugal evidently claim a fair proportion.
