Thornden Wood, at different parts. On one afternoon last week two 

 friends found seventeen Song-Thrushes' nests, containing either eggs 

 or young. The Nightingale I heard on Easter Sunday was singing 

 beautifully. — Dudley F. Warde (40, Charleville Mansions, Charleville 

 Road, West Kensington, W.). 



Migratory Notes from Aberdeen. — Ring-Ouzel (Turdus torquatus), 

 April 8th. Three Wheatears (Saxicola cenanthe) seen April 8th ; un- 

 usually early. Cuckoo [Cuculus canorus), April 26th ; very early, and 

 I have no recollection of hearing one with so many remnants of snow- 

 wreaths in the. locality — about 9 a.m., with abundance of song. It 

 was stated one evening that the voice was hoarse, while the frosts were 

 very severe. — W. Wilson (Alford, Aberdeen).
