arrival in Hampshire on the 6 th of May, brought our stock 

 of summer-residents up to its full complement. In addition, 

 many of these later immigrants were on their way to 

 breeding-areas beyond our boundaries, as is evidenced by 

 the considerable numbers that occurred at light-stations on 

 both the east and west coasts up to the third week of the 

 month. By the second week in May nesting had become 

 general, being reported from Somerset on the 7th, from 

 fciuffolk, Eadnor and Staffordshire on the 8th, from Mont- 

 gomery on the 9th and Yorkshire on the 10th, while nests 

 with eggs were found in Cambridge on the 7th, in Hampshire 

 and Warwickshire on the 14th and Westmoreland on the 

 18th. A single bird taken at St. Catherine's light on the 

 26th/27th of May proved to be an example of P. trochilus 

 eversmanni.
