The tabulated list appended gives names, dates, and comparative occurrence of 

 mio-rants in Yorkshire. We need not particularise them further than to make a

 the visits of the' British Association to the south-west of England and Ireland, by 

 personal observation and conversation with authorities like the Rev. G. Robinson, 

 a writer on the ornithology of North Ireland, and Mr. J. J. Watters of Dublin, 

 author of ' Birds of Ireland,' with the common occurrence of some of our migrants 

 and the scarcity or absence of others.
