SUMMARY OF THE RECORDS. 



THE FIELDFARE (Tardus pilaris).

 peared in Northumberland during the week. On April the 6th and 7th 

 large flocks were recorded from Wiltshire, Cheshire and Northumberland, 

 and another ' wave ' was recorded from these counties on the 9th, 

 10th, and 11th. During the three following weeks, up to the 3rd of 

 May, the records show that Fieldfares were steadily passing through 

 the country, the chief movements being on the 13th, 14th, 19th, 23rd, 

 24th, 27th, 28th, and 29th. The last flock of any size was recorded from
