K. : Tb. N. Krabbe, stud. med, Observations from 

 near Kjöbenhavn, especially from the coasts of the island 

 of Amager. 



W.: the Compiler of this report. Notes from Kjöben- 

 havn. I have noted down for every species the observations 

 of every day and have done so for a series of years. Here 

 are published only notes on the periodical movements of 

 birds and related phenomena; on topographical distribution 

 &c. nothing is said. Therefore many of the species observed 

 are not included in the report; but a list of all species seen 

 in i885 is appended (107 in number). Published notes 

 strictly limited to i885. Area of Observation this year very 

 small; about two (Danish) miles to the north, and mach 

 less to the west and south ; by far the largest part of the 

 observations recorded here have been made in north-eastern 

 suburb and immediate surroundings. »Migration locality« 

 denotes a place where a species appears only out of breed- 

 ing-time; chief among such localities is to me the garden 

 of my home in north-eastern suburb. The remark »breeds« 

 is only inserted for the sake of the migration notes; it re- 

 lates to the area mentioned; its absence does not alv^'ays 

 imply an assertion that the species does not breed on the 

 area (still less close outside). The only instrument used in 

 observing is the telescope; nothing shot or caught. The 

 species seen during the year were the following: 



Milvus regalis. Cuculus canorus. 



Cerchneis tinnunculus. Sturnus vulgaris. 



Hypotriorchis aesalon. Lycos monedula. 



Falco subbuteo. Corvus corax. 



— peregrinus. — cornix. 

 Accipiter nisus. — frugilegus. 

 Haliaetus albicilla. Pica caudata. 

 Pernis apivorus. Garrulus glandarius. 

 Buteo vulgaris. Picus major. 

 Circus aeruginosus. — medius, 

 Syrnium aluco. Jynx torquilla. 

 Cypselus apus. Sitta europaea. 

 Hirundo rustica. Certhia familiaris.
