EARLY SPRING MIGRATIONS. 197 



Castle Bock. In two of these places I did not see one on the 

 5th and 6th. 



Wheatears appeared much earlier on the west coast. Mr. G. 

 H. Caton Haigh wrote to me: — " On the 21st (March) we had 

 the heaviest snowstorm that has occurred here for years ; in 

 the afternoon the snow was eight inches deep. In the midst 

 of this storm the first Wheatears appeared, four or five, all 

 males; they frequented the seaweed-covered rocks in company 

 with scores of Meadow-Pipits."
