marked in Dumfriesshire in June, 1910, was found within 

 a few miles in October, 1910, but one marked in Essex,

Two Lapwings marked near Glasgow in June, 1909, 

 and June 1910, were found respectively in the Basses 

 Pyrenees, France, in November, 1909, and near Kilkenny, 

 Ireland, in February, 1911, while another marked in 

 Yorkshire in July, 1909, was found in the same county in 

 the follo\^dng December. 



Of Black-headed Gulls we are collecting a fine series 

 of records, which should prove of great value with the 

 additions that are certain to come during the next few 

 years. The following Lesser Black-backed Gull records 

 may be mentioned : One marked in Westmorland in 

 July, 1911, was found in Lancashire the following 

 September, and another marked in the same place in 

 June, 1910, was found at the mouth of the Loire, France, 

 in September, 1910 ; one marked at the Fame Isles in 

 August, 1910, was taken at Hartlepool in October, 1911, 

 and another marked in Argyllshire in July, 1910, was 

 reported from Aveiro, Portugal, in December, 1910. 



Of other '• recoveries " abroad we may mention Common 

 Terns marked in Cumberland and Renfrew, found in 

 Spain and Portugal. Swallows marked in Lancashire 

 and Staffordshire, reported from Indre et Loire and 

 Charente Inferieure in France. A Pied Wagtail marked 

 in Sussex in June, found the following December in 

 Portugal. A Greenfinch marked in Staffordshire in June, 

 reported the following April from Aisne, France. 



I must repeat that the records are far too few for us 

 to draw inferences from them, and indeed many of those 

 mentioned above show this by their apparent contra- 

 dictions ; but they also show what valuable results will 

 be obtained if our " ringers " continue their work, as 

 I am sure they will.
