was noted in Yorkshire, and on the 14th the first were noted in 

 Lancashire. 



On October the 16th, 21st, and 24tb large arrivals were noted on the 

 north coast of Lincolnshire, while fresh arrivals were noted on the Suffolk

 both on that and the following day the first arrivals were recorded in 

 Devon, it being noted that they appeared when the wind changed to

THE JACK SNIPE (Gallinayo gallinula). 



The earliest records were from Brecon on September the 24th and 

 from Yorkshire on the 26th. Some were reported from Lancashire on 

 October the 2nd, while single examples were recorded from Cheshire 

 on the 6th and Lincolnshire on the 8th. 



The first important arrival on the Lincolnshire coast took place on 

 October the 14th, and on the same day the first birds were recorded in 

 Hampshire. 



On October the 24th and 30th further fresh arrivals were recorded on 

 the north coast of Lincolnshire. 



On November the 16th/17th one was taken at the North Goodwin 

 Lt.-v. (Kent) ; while a few recorded from the Hanois Lt. (Channel 

 Islands) on December the 29th/30th and January the 2nd/3rd were 

 probably " weather-migrants." 



THE DUNLIN {Tringa alpina). 

 One was killed at the Dungeness Lt. (Kent) on November the 12th/13th 

 and two at the Hanois Lt. (Channel Islands) on November the 7th/8th. 



THE KNOT {Tringa canutus). 

 Several were noted at St. Catherine's Lt. (Isle of Wight) on November 

 the 4th/5th and at Orford Lt. (Suffolk) on November the 6th/7th. 



THE S.1NDERLING {Calidris arenaria). 

 One was killed at the Hanois Lt. (Channel Islands) on January the 



lst/2nd. 



THE COMMON SANDPIPER (Totanus hypoleucus). 

 From the small number of records sent in, itcau only be surmised that 

 the birds left their breeding-grounds during the latter part of July and 

 worked their way down the rivers to the coast. The number of birds 

 decreased towards the end of August and the beginning of September, 

 and by the middle of the latter month most of them had gone. A single 

 bird was reported to have remained in Devonshire till November the 10th.
