THE LINNET {Linota cannahmd). 



The migrations of this species were also very well marked on the east 

 coast, but the southward coasting movement would seem to have been 

 of a more important character when compared with the oversea im- 

 migration than was the case witli the Greenfinch and Tree-Sparrow. 

 Light-records were few, although ranging from tlie north-west of 

 Norfolk to Dungeness, whereas the coasting movements recorded in 

 Norfolk and Suffolk were as extensive and continuous as those of the 

 other Finches. 



Migration began in the middle of September in the north of Norfolk 

 and was first noticed on the 25th in the S.E. of Suffolk, while from the 

 30th to the 8th of November the southward movement was practically 

 continuous, the few light-records ranging over the same period. Short 

 revivals of this movement were also recorded in Norfolk in the middle 

 and in Norfolk and N. Sufiblk at the end of November, and in S.E. 

 Suffolk at the beginning and end of December.
