some were seen and oue was killed at the Shambles Lt.-v. (Dorset). On 

 November the 3rd a number were observed on the cliff and sea-shore at 

 Filey (Yorkshire). 



THE PIED WAGTAIL (Motacttla lugubris). 



Owing to the small number of records received, it was impossible to 

 trace the migrations of this bird. All that can be said is that on 

 August the 10th and 17th a large migration westwards was recorded in 

 Leicestershire, and many flocks were noted going south at the end 

 of that month in Buckingham. Towards the middle of September 

 migratory flocks were noted in Yorkshire, Sussex, Hants, Somerset and 

 Devon, whilst in October others were seen passing through the Isle of 

 Man, Denbigh, Somerset and Devon. 



On November the 7th a migratory flock was noted going south in 

 Somerset, and a bird of this species was taken at the Hanois Lt. (Channel 

 Islands) on the same day. 



THE WHITE WAGTAIL (Motacula alba). 



This species was noted in Lancashire and the Isle of Man on 

 September the 9th, in Norfolk and North Devon on the 10th, in Hants 

 on the 12th, in Leicester from the 15th to the 21st, and a single bird 

 was seen in Lancashire on the 19th. 



THE YELLOW WAGTAIL {Motacilla rati). 



This species was reported as gradually leaving its bveeding-haunts in 

 Yorkshire. during the first ten days of August. On the 10th and 17th 

 it was noted in Leicestershire going west in company with Pied Wag- 

 tails, and it was also seen migrating in Buckingham, Kent, Sussex and 

 Devon during the last week of the month. By the end of the month 

 it had left its breeding-grounds in Derbyshire. 



During the first fortnight of September migratory parties were recorded 

 from Lancashire, Cheshire, Berkshire, Sussex and Devon. Alter this 

 date none were recorded in the more northern counties, and though in 

 Surrey, Kent, Sussex and Plants birds were observed on migration during 

 the latter half of the month, the majority left the coast between the 

 10th and the 20th. 



This species was taken at St. Catherine's Lt. (Isle of Wight) on 

 September the 20th/21st, and both at that light and at the EddystoneLt. 

 (Cornwall) on the 28th/29th and 29th/30th respectively.
