On November l?t a large migratiou took place, many being recorded 

 at the east coast lights (Kent, Essex and Norfolk) going west and at 

 St. Catherine's (Isle of Wight). On the two following days a few were 

 noted at the east coast lights. 



Another large migration took place between the 9th and 13th. On 

 the former date many were recorded from Hanois light, on the 10th 

 vast numbers from St. Catherine's, Hanois, and Bishop Rock (Isles of 

 Scilly) lights, on the 11th from Eddystone and Bishop Eock, and again on 

 the 13th from the latter light, while a few stragglers were recorded on 

 the 14th from Hanois. 



Migrating in a westerly direction in front of the cold wave they were 

 noted in Dorset on December 20th-22nd and in Sussex on 26th-28th. 



Between the 13th and 18th of January a few were noted nearly every 

 night at the Eddystoae and Bishop Rock lights, but there was no record 

 to show in what direction they were going. 



Thrushes were almost invariably found to be migrating in company 

 with Redwings, Blackbirds, Fieldfares, Starlings and Skj--Larks. 



THE REDWING [Turdus iliacus). 



The first records were at the end of September and beginning of 

 October from Shropshire, Cheshire and Yorkshire; on the 9th and 

 10th of October it was noted in Sussex on passage. On the 12th and 

 14th a few were recorded from Eddystone light (Cornwall), and on 

 the 15th many. On the 18th it was recorded in Sussex on passage, 

 and some were noted at Hanois light (Channel Islands) ; on the 19th 

 many were recorded from St. Catherine's light (Isle of Wight) ; on the 

 21st from Eddystone. 



On the 27th another large emigration was recorded from St. Cathe- 

 rine's and Hanois lights ; while vast numbers passed St. Catherine's on 

 November 1st. 



Between the 6th and 15th of November there was a very large emigra- 

 tion, birds being noted going south in vast numbers at Bishop Rock, 

 Eddystone, St. Catherine's and Hanois lights, the height of the migra- 

 tion being on the nights of the 9th, 10th, and 11th. 



Smaller migrations were noted on the 23rd-25th from these lights. 



The apparent absence of this species from the east coast lights on 

 migration is no doubt due to its being mistaken for the Song-Thrush. 



THE FIELDFARE {Tardus pilaris). 



An early straggler Avas recorded on September the 3rd in Lincoln and 

 another on the 26th in Shropshire. 



A large influx was noted in Lancashire on October the 20th, and several 

 Hocks on passage in Cheshire and Lincoln on the 23rd, while on the 25th
