Aqnila. 



[Aquila. Zeitschrift fur Oriiithologie. Redact. Otto Herman. 

 Tom xix. 1912, Budapest.] 



jNIost of the articles in the current volume of 'Aquila ' are 

 concerned with migration problems and bird-protection in 

 Hungary. Dr. Herman Avas one of the first to adopt the 

 plan of ringing birds in order to trace out their migration 

 movements, and the method was first applied to the White 

 Stork. We have in this volume several articles on the 

 sojourn of this species in South Africa, and there can be 

 now no doubt that a good many individuals remain there 

 throughout the southern winter months, though there is as 

 yet no evidence to prove that they ever breed there at any 

 time of the year,
