Shillay and female at Noss Head on 3rd May. After this steady 
arrival is reported up to 20th May. Autumn movement was 
apparent by 14th August, and continued without intermission up

Repsreast, Lrithacus rubecula.—What look like return migra- 
tions of our own ZL. 7. melophilus, are reported from Little Ross and 
Pladda (and lanterns) from 16/17th February to 29th March. From 
and to 25th April much movement, probably of emigrants, of Z. 7. 
rubecula, is recorded from Noss Head, Auskerry, Fair Isle, and 
Lerwick; while many Redbreasts at the Little Ross lantern on 
22/23rd and 24th April, and one at Pladda on 6th May, may have 
been passage migrants of the typical race. Movements of the 
British subspecies are noted at Pladda, Noss Head, and the Isle 
of May from 31st August to 4th October. A Redbreast at Lerwick 
on z9th September was doubtless £. 7. rubecula, and what was 
obviously an immigration of the Continental Redbreast is recorded 
from our northern isles and stations from 6th October to 16th 
November, large numbers arriving between 6th and 13th October, 
after which the movement slackened. ‘‘Many” at the Little Ross
