above-named limits ; and that the Committee were anxious 

 to obtain the sanction of the Club to extend their enquiry, 

 as time went on. They proposed to obtain information 

 from the following sources : — 



(1) From the lighthouses and lightships on the 



south and east coasts of England by means of 

 schedules issued to the light-keepers, who it 

 Avas hoped would supplement their observations 

 by forwarding the wings of the birds killed at 

 the lanterns. 



(2) From as large a number as possible of reliable 



observers in England and Wales, who would be 

 asked to till in specially-prepared schedules, and 

 forward them week by week. 



This report was adopted, and the sum of £20 was voted 

 from the funds of the Club to meet the expenses which 

 would be involved. 



On June 28th the Committee made an " interim " report, 

 in which it was stated that observers throughout the 

 country had willingly sent in well-hlled schedules week by 

 week ; that the light-keepers had also sent much valuable 

 information and a number of wings ; and that the Mem- 

 bers of the Committee were devoting themselves to the 

 working out of the material received. 



On the 18th October, 1905, a "business" report was 

 submitted in which it was stated that over 15,000 records 

 had been received during the spring of 1905 ; that these 

 records had been classified and arranged ; and that a full 

 report had been nearly completed. 



It was unanimously decided that the complete report 

 should be j)ublished as a separate volume of the Bulletin 

 of the Club, and that the copies should be sold to defray 

 the expenses of publication. 



On November 15th, 1905, Mr. J. L. Bonhote read reports 

 on the spring-immigrations of the Swallow, Nightingale, 

 Yellow Wagtail and Lesser Whitethroat.
