(November 5th) in "the decoy of Knudsen". J. M. Knudsen, 
Sønderho, Fanø (No. 64). Possibly this teal has been wintering 
in West Europe 1907—1908. It has perhaps hatched in Danmark 
or in a place N. E. of Danmark in the summer af 1908 and has 
now been migrating once more for West Europe. 
Summary. 
In the Danish island of Fanø 102 teal were marked in Oct. 
1907, and till now I have got information that 22 of them have 
been killed or trapped from the beginning of Nov. 1907 to the 
end of Decbr. 1908. 
In the winter of 1907—1908 and in August—September 
1908 fifteen ringed teal were met with on the coasts of the western 
Europe on N. lat. 54!/2—441/28? and E. long. "/2? — W. long. 
91/2? (between the isotherms of + 4? and + 7? C. for January). 
Seven of the fifteen informations arrived from the western 
side of France, from a little North of the Loire to a little South 
of the Gironde (about 1300 kilom. from Fanø). Here prevails, 
as it is well known, a mild climate in the winter; there are a 
great many small streams which are not covered with ice in the 
winter, and here a ringed teal was found already in the middle of 
Sept., while thousands of teal still were seen in Danmark. 
Another good place for wintering is Ireland with its almost 
frostless winter, its well developped net-work of rivers and its 
numerous lakes and bogs. Five teal of the fifteen are killed here (up 
to about 1150 kilom. from Fanø), one already in the end of August. 
The southwestern shires of England afford three. of the 
fifteen birds. 
In Nederland (Holland) two ringed teal (besides the named 
fifteen) have been killed. In the southern part of Espaia (Spain) 
one is shot (about 2300 kilom. from Fanø); in the northern part 
of Italia one more. Teal are said to be met with in these two 
countries from October to-the beginning of April.
