birds, such as Meadow-Pipits and Wheatears. They 

 gradually passed west and north-west through Surrey and 

 Suffolk, reaching Mid- Wales and Cheshire on the 3rd 

 and 4th April, Derbyshire and Lancashire by the 8th, 

 and Yorkshire on the 9th. 



A fresh immigration took place on April 11th on the east 

 coast of Sussex from which this species had been absent 

 during the three previous days. These immigrants arrived 

 apparently over a wider area and spreading out reached 

 Suffolk, Essex and Stafford on the 13th, Westmoreland on 

 the 17th, and Cumberland on the 21st. 



On the same day (April 11th) a large flock was recorded 

 from Minehead in Somerset, which consisted, doubtless, of 

 arrivals from the south, and these seem to be the birds which 

 were recorded from Wiltshire on the 16th, and Mid- Wales 

 on the 19th ; the last-mentioned record, on the other 

 hand, may have been an extension of range of the birds 

 which reached Cheshire and Staffordshire during the 

 previous movements. 



On April 23rd and 24th there was again an increase in 

 east Sussex, and the birds forming this movement followed 

 the same general direction as former arrivals, and were 

 noticed in Hampshire, Staffordshire and Lancashire.
