270 BRITISH BIRDS. [vol. xiii. 



Ringed as Adults. 



Recovered at home.- — Four ringed as adults in winter in 

 Lincolnshire, Northumberland and Stirlingshire were recovered 

 in the same place in the following winter. One ringed in 

 Staffordshire in May was found at the same place in June of 

 the following year and one ringed in Northumberland in 

 April was found near the same place in the following February. 



Recovered away. — None. 



Three of the records point to breeding in the same locality 

 as that in which the birds were hatched. Although there is a 

 considerable majority of the records showing no movement 

 it is evident that individuals do migrate and the bird recovered 

 in Gloucestershire in October certainly shows true migration 

 and not a movement influenced by severe weather. 



Linnet {Cardnelis c. cannabina). 

 Ringed as Nestlings. 



Recovered at home. — One ringed in Lancashire was recovered 

 at the same place in January of the following year, two others 

 in October of the same year and others were reported two or 

 three months after ringing. 



Recovered away. — One ringed at Cheadle (Staffs.) was 

 reported in the following September a little to the south-west 

 at Wellington (Salop.) while another ringed at Limpsfield 

 (Surrey) was found on the coast at Eastbourne in the following 

 October. Three ringed in Warwickshire, Berkshire and Kent 

 have been reported in the following October and November 

 from south-west France, viz. Gironde, Landes and Basses 

 Pyrenees. 



Ringed as Adults. — None recovered. 



These records show a more definite and perhaps more 

 regular migration than in the case of the Greenfinch. 



Chaffinch {Fringilla c. ccelebs). 



Recovered at home. — Five nestlings and twenty-two adults 

 ringed from Devon to Stirlingshire have all been recovered 

 where they were ringed. The nestlings were recovered 

 between January and April in the following or second year. 

 The adults ringed both in winter and summer were reported 

 in all months from three months to three years after ringing. 



Recovered away. — None. 



Sky-Lark (Alatida a. arvensis). 

 Ringed as Nestlings. 



Recovered at home. — Although many Sky-Larks have been 

 ringed, very few unfortunately have been reported as recovered.
