of April, and eggs were first reported from Cambridgeshire 

 on the 7th of May, after which date nesting became general. 

 Very few wings of this species were received during the 

 spring, so that it was difficult to ascertain with which 

 immigrations the larger race arrived. The earliest record of 

 this race was, however, on the 22nd of April ; it also 

 occurred on the 27th and 28th, and appeared most numerous 

 between the 2nd and 6th of May. Curiously enough, a 

 wing obtained at the last immigration on the 24th of May 

 appears to have belonged to the smaller race.
