The migration of the Lark was carried on all hours of day and 

 night in all weathers from Aug. 27th to Jan. 12th. The " great 

 rush" took place during the last fortnight in October, more 

 crossing probably on the 22nd than any other day, and at Heligo- 

 land on 20th and 21st. A " second rush" a month later, on or 

 about Nov. 21st, and a "third rush" on the outbreak of severe 

 weather in the second week in January this year. General line 

 of direction E. to W., sometimes N.E. to S.W., but generally, like 

 the majority of immigrants this season, with a strong trend from 

 points south of east. It is remarkable, as shown by the returns, 

 how frequentty Larks are associated in migration with Starlings, 

 either in separate flocks or together ; in fact, the two species 

 seem to be inseparable. In a large majority of instances these 

 two meadow-feeders are associated as if impelled to migrate by a 

 common cause.
