Both thefe facts were during 

 winter. 



In February, 1766, Mr. Henry 

 'Tyler, fchool-mafter, at Longnor y 

 Sbropjbire, faw two fwifts ad- 

 hering by the claws, and in a 

 torpid flate, taken from under 

 the roof of Longnor Chappel\ 

 that on being expofed to the 

 fire, they revived and moved 

 about the room. 

 251. On the twenty-third of 05lo- 

 ber lad, a martin was feen in 

 Southwark, flying in and out of 

 its neft : and on the twenty- 

 ninth of the fame month, four 

 or five /wallows were obferved 

 hovering round and fettling on 

 the county hofpital at Oxford. 

 As thefe birds mud have been 

 of a late hatch, it is highly im- 

 probable that at fo late a feafon 

 of the year, they would attempt 

 from one of our midland coun- 

 ties, a voyage almoft as far as 

 the equator to Senegal or Goree : 

 we are therefore confirmed in 

 our notion, that there is only a 

 partial migration of thefe birds ; 

 and that the feeble late hatches 

 conceal themfelves in this coun- 

 try.
