The southward passage of this species must have begun before the end 

 of July, as on the 3rd of August considerable numbers arrived on the 

 Hampshire coast followed by others on the 6th, while a similar assem- 

 blage was noticed on the coast of Kent on the following day. The 

 former remained more or less stationary iip to the 12th, when they passed 

 on, their place being taken by further large arrivals from the N. or N.E. 

 on the IStli and 2.3rd, and a smaller one on the 31st, which in turn 

 passed on south on the 19th, 27th, and the 1st of September. While this 

 extensive emigration was in progress from the south coast very little 

 movement appears to have been noticed inland ; a large flock was seen 

 passing in Aberdeen on the 25th, a few were noticed passing in Hertford- 

 shire on the 26th, and a small movement was apparent on the Lancashire 

 coast between the 27th and 30th. During September, however, and up 

 to the end of the first week in October a nmre or less continuous 

 southerly movement was recorded in Westmoreland, Lancashire, Den- 

 bigh, Cheshire, Stafford, Leicester and N.W. Suffolk. For the most 

 part the movement appears to have consisted of the leisurely passage of 

 small parties, though here and there occasional larger flocks were noticed. 

 On the east coast very little movement was recorded; many were passing 

 in E. Fife on the 22nd, but with this exception the records are only those 

 of insignificant numbers on the Suffolk coast at the end of September. 

 A movement, however, corresponding very closely in character to that
