Norfolk and Suffolk, the only others being those from Fair Isle (Shet- 

 land), the Lincolnshire Light-vessels and Kent, and it seemed probable 

 that few actually arrived from oversea to the south of the Norfolk 

 and Suffolk border, where a large amount of the movement noticed was 

 of a southerly "coasting" character. The only record from the Kent 

 coast noted two small parties that had arrived from off the sea on the 

 13th of September and continued their course to the N. W. Commencing 

 about the 11th of September immigration continued until the 11th of 

 October and " coasting movements " until nearly the end of the month, 

 the last bird being seen on Fair Isle on the 30th. In addition to those 

 that coasted south, many of these immigrants, no doubt, passed inland 

 and were responsible in part for the records received from inland 

 localities. Flocks were seen passing in N. Staffordshire on the 5th of 

 September, and the first migrants arrived in Westmoreland on the 24th 

 and in Cumberland on the 30th. Others were passing in Staffordshire on 

 the 23rd, and in Cheshire during the last few days of October. 



Emigratory movements were noticed at the Hampshire Lights on the 

 10th, 13th and 14th of September, from the Sussex coast during the first 

 week of October, from the Hampshire coast on the 6th, between the 16th 

 and 26th and on the 28th, and from the Dorset coast on the 29th. Large 

 numbers also occurred at Hanois Light (Guernsey) on the 14th/15th of 

 October, while small numbers were recorded from west coast lights on 

 the 2nd/3rd and 28th/29th. 



THE ROCK-PIPIT {Anthus obscurus). 



Many Rock-Pipits arrived on the Isle of May on the 4th of September 

 and others on the 25th, many passing on during the following day. 

 On the 29th a considerable number arrived on the S.E. coast of Sussex, 

 where they remained until the 3rd of October, while a few more 

 arrived there on the 10th and passed on between the 12th and 28th. On 

 the 11th a few were passing on the Suffolk coast, and on the 13th and 

 14th of November many arrived at the Bell Rock (Tay). 



THE GREAT GREY SHRIKE {Lanius excuUtor). 



One was shot in Montgomeryshire in October, a second in Thanet 

 (E. Kent) on the 17th of the same month, and a third near Haddington 

 on the 11th of November. 



THE RED-BACKED SHRIKE {Lanius collurio). 



Red-backed Shrikes seemed to have left Shropshire early in August 

 and W. Kent during the third week of the month. The residents in the
