NOTES. 129 



have been recovered within a mile of the place where they 

 were " ringed," three in the same cage-trap ; two were shot 

 from the nest. Besides these, one of each of two pairs nesting 

 close by had a ring on its leg. This suggests that at any rate 

 a certain proportion of Starlings seen here in the winter are 

 strictly non-migratory, although some are no doubt winter 

 immigrants {of. Vol. IV., p. 335, No. C234).

Besides these, Starlings and Rooks were constantly re- 

 captured within a day or two in the cage-trap.

Since the appearance of my article on the recovery of Aberdeen 

 University marked birds {cintea, p. 98), many other records 

 have, come to hand, including several of considerable import- 

 ance. Of these I wish to give details of one which is of 

 particular interest, and which is very similar to one already 

 quoted (pp. 101-102). A Starling [Sturnus vulgaris : A.U. 

 8536) was netted, marked, and released by Mr. L. N. G. 

 Ramsay, at 11, College Bounds, Old Aberdeen, on January 

 20th, 1910 ; it was killed by a bird-of-prey near Kvarv I 

 Salten, Norway (circa 67° N.*lat.), about August 20th, 1911, 

 the ring being found by a boy and brought to our informant, 

 Mr. Nils Lie, schoolmaster of that place ; time, one year 

 seven months. The comparative proximity of the localities 

 at which the two Starlings were recovered is rather remarkable. 

 Corrigenda : I take this opportunity of noting the following 

 eorrections in the article referred to : On p. 99, third column
