450 THE ZOOLOGIST. 



Cley and Blakeney — where they were flying west — by Mr. 

 E. Pinchen. 



Flocks were also viewed by Mr. F. A. Quibb at Winterton, 

 which is on the coast, and by Mr. Caton Haigh in North 

 Lincolnshire, where the direction of their flight was registered 

 as north-west. 



It is, therefore, quite evident that they were following the 

 Norfolk and Lincolnshire coasts, and in all probability the sea- 

 line of Suffolk and Yorkshire as well. One cannot but feel a 

 great curiosity to know where bands of migrants such as these 

 start from ; probably they begin with only a few birds, and their 

 ranks receive additions as the army goes along. That these 

 feathered travellers eventually turn south again seems pretty 

 obvious.
