 those species that have passed the summer with us migrate to the south, 

 and others, who have passed the summer farther north, take their places. 

 See remarks on page 129 under the head of Picus villosus.

3. Larus argentatus.t 7. Pelionetta perspicillata.J

* This eagle is quite frequently seen along our coast, even in summer, 

 but as it is not known to breed, and being a bird of strong flight, it is prob' 

 able that it is making daily excursions in search of food. 



t Those that remain during the summer are generally immature birds, 

 probably the young of the previous year. See remarks on page 151, under 

 Larus argentatus. 



X These three species are given upon the authority of Mr. E. C. Greeor* 

 wood, of Ipswich.
