REPORT 



ON THE IMMIGRATIONS OF SUMMER RESIDENTS IN 

 THE SPRING OF 1906. 



INTRODUCTORY. 



When submitting our first Report at the meeting o£ the 

 Club held on the 21st of February 1906, we appealed for 

 financial aid to enable the Migration Committee to continue 

 their work, as it was apparent, that unless the investi- 

 gations could be carried on over a certain number o£ years, 

 no definite results could be obtained. We have now the 

 pleasure of submitting our second Report, which deals with 

 the spring immigration of 1906, and of tendering our best 

 thanks to those members of the Club who by their kind 

 subscriptions have enabled the work to be carried on, and 

 more especially to an anonymous donor, who has promised 

 a considerable sum for a term of years. The enquiry having 

 been thus placed on a permanent footing, we believe that in 

 a few years results of considerable value may be obtained. 



There have been some changes in the Committee, both 

 Mr. Nicoll and Mr. Witherby having resigned, and we wish 

 to record here our deep appreciation of these gentlemen's 

 services. In their place Messrs. C. B. Rickett and C. B. 

 Ticehurst have been elected to the Committee. The former 

 has already displayed great interest in the question of 

 migration, and has prepared a brief description of our 

 common summer-immigrants, to facilitate their identification. 

 This has been printed as a small pamphlet and distributed 

 to the Light-keepers.
