the south-east const. The species was not rcconled from 

 Northumberland till the IGth. 



On May the 14th some were noted at the Hants lights, and 

 from that time onwards till about the 24th there seem to have 

 been smaller ' waves ' of immi<^rants passing through the 

 country; but as the species was by that time resident, they 

 could not be traced with certainty. Nests with eggs were 

 reported from Cambridge on the 17th.
