believes tliat tins passage is due to tlie movement of the 

 Gulls away from the herring-grounds off Yarmouth, after 

 having satisfied their appetites, towards beaehes and stretehes 

 of sand wheic they eongregate and rest_, and that tlie return 

 movements take plaee at or before dawn, and are therefore 

 not so often notieed. 



Mr. Anthony Buxton contributes a charmingly Avritten 

 article on spring Birds at Geneva in Switzerhmd, where he 

 is residing, and he has a good deal to say about the arrival, 

 courting, and nesting of a pair of Golden Orioles in his 

 garden. Miss K. M. Watson, D.Sc, has been studying the 

 habits of the Teru colony at Blakeney Point during the 

 summer of 1920, and has added some fresh facts and obser- 

 vations to those of Mr. Bowan, with whom she was formerly 

 associated in this work. Slie and her friends recorded 

 412 nests containing 900 eggs. These have all beeii care- 

 fully measured, and the coloration and markings noted in 

 accordance with a fixed scale. Dr. Long, the editor, has an 

 article on bird-protection in Norfolk, and hopes to centralize 

 the activities of various small associations engaged in pro- 

 tecting birds in various parts of the country at Breydon, 

 Blakeney, Wells, and Wolferton. Mr. Gnrney recalls the 

 fact that Peter Alunday, whose travels in the early part of 

 the 17th century have recently been published by the 

 Hakluyt Society, found Gannets breeding on Gull lloek 

 near Falmouth in 1635 or 1636. Death has been active 

 among the members of the Society of late : in addition to 

 Colonel Feilden and Mr. Upeher, notices of whom have 

 appeared in onr pages, Mr. James Reeves, for many years 

 Curator of Norwich Castle Museum, died on 19 December, 

 1920, at the age of 87. Excellent portraits of all three 

 accompany the notices.
