On the 8tli of May there seems to have been another 

 immigration into Devon^ into Hampshire two days later, and 

 into Dorset on the 11th and 12th. These birds apparently 

 spread over the country with the exception o£ the south and 

 east, thus rendering it still more likely that the former 

 immigration, which was lost sight of in Norfolk, contained 

 the breeding-birds of that county. On the 13th and 14th 

 the species was recorded as numerous in Yorkshire, Derby, 

 and Cheshire. 



On the 16th there was a further immigration into Hamji- 

 shire and Sussex ; on the 22nd and 23rd into Devon, Dorset, 

 and Hampshire ; and on the 28th into Devon and Dorset, 

 but the birds being by this time well distributed, it was 

 impossible to trace them further.
