The twenty-fourth volume of the British Ornithologists' 

 Club contains the Report of our Migration Committee on 

 the movements in England and Wales of a number of 

 common migratory species during the autumn of 1907 

 and the spring and early summer of 1908. 



In the present volume the various subjects are arranged 

 and dealt with as in the previous Report (Volume XXII.) ; 

 but a special chapter (pp. 207-226) has been added giving 

 a detailed account of the observations which have been made 

 and forwarded from the various lighthouses and light-vessels 

 during the autumn of 1907. 



The Members of our Migration Committee are jointly 

 responsible for the following Report.
