passing Somerset on the 11th, and reaching Shropshire, 

 Radnor, and Cheshire by the 14th ; others, spreading further 

 to the east, reached Berkshire on the 11th, Hertfordshire and 

 Buckinghamshire on the 12th and 13th, Surrey on the 13th, 

 and Sussex on the 15th. 



With the fourth immigration we have the first clear 

 evidence of the arrival of the Garden- Warbler on the 

 coast. This occurred on the Ifith of May at the Hampshire 

 lights, and was recorded from Devon and Dorset on the 

 4"ollowing day. 



These immigrants could be traced in a northerly direction 

 through Wiltshire and Buckinghamshire on the 18th, Oxford 

 on the 19thj Radnor on the 20th, and Cheshire on the 24th. 

 By this date the earlier arrivals had already begun to nest 

 as far north as Durham, and beyond this point they could 

 not be traced with any certainty. 



A fifth immigration, which was observed at the Light 

 Stations only, occurred on the Hampshire and Devon coasts 

 on May the 22nd and 2ord, but the movement was not of 

 sufficient magnitude to enable it to be traced throuoh the 

 country. 



Subsequently a small number arrived in Hampshire on 

 the 26th and 28th of May, and there was reason to believe 

 that these birds passed north through the west of England 

 and Mid- Wales.
