 RECOVERY OF MARKED BIRDS. 



The annual article reporting progress for 1913 will appear, it is hoped, 

 in the next number. 



The following have kindly sent in subscriptions towards the expenses 

 of the Marking Scheme since the last acknowledgment was made : — 

 Miss C. M. Acland, Mr. James Bartholomew, Miss B. A. Carter, 

 Messrs. C. T. Cobbold, W. Davies, T. F. Greenwood, J. H. Gumey, 

 Miss M. H. Greg, Major-Gen eral V. Hatton, Messrs. G. W. Kerr, 

 W. W. Lowe, H. T. Malcomson, A. Mayall, Captain W. Mackenzie, 

 Dr. H. J. Moon, Mr. J. H. Owen, Mrs. Patteson, Messrs. W. J. 

 Norwood Ryan and F. H. Taylor. 



Besides the records given below, one hundred and thirty-three 

 Black-headed Gulls have been reported since the last list was published 

 (June 1913). We have not space to give full details of those, but 

 we hope that it will not be long before sufficient recoveries have been 

 notified to give material for a critical report on the results of ringing 

 Black-headed Gulls. 



Further, a number of Starlings ringed by Mr. Joy have been 

 recovered, and these will be considered separately at a later date. 

 As usual also, many recoveries (seventy since the last published list) 

 of too little importance to warrant publication, have come to hand.
