NOTES— ORNITHOLOGY. 



Migration of the Ring-ouzel.— On September 24th, 1896, one of this 



species {Tardus torquatus), a fine mature male, which by some mishap had 

 struck against the telegraph wires, and fell upon the highway dead, was 

 picked up and brought to me to be named, it being the first on record in the 

 village of Lofthouse.— John Ward, Pymont House, Lofthouse, Wakefield, 

 Nov. 14th, 1896. 



Flamborough Bird-Notes.— In the latter part of October, Mr. H. Bailey, 

 one of the fog signalmen, informed me that to his surprise, so late in the season, 

 he saw a flight of Swallows iHirundo rustica) flying near to the *og Signal 

 Station at Flamborough Head. In the early part of November we experienced 

 very rou^h weather, which brought several birds from the far North. Several 

 Little Auks (Mergtdw alie) and Stormy Petrels {Thalassidroma f*lag*m) were 

 seen on the coast. Enormous quantities of Snow Buntings {PUdropkams mva ) 

 arrived on the Headland. I had also brought in a very fine, large Glaucous Guli 

 (Lan jlauats).— Matthew Bailey, Flamborough, Nov. 19th, 1896.
