wind E.N.E. At Nortlirepps, Oct. 13th, many to N.W. At 

 Leman and Ower l.v., Oct. 21st, 5 p.m., to N.W. At Cockle l.v., 

 Oct. 11th, contmuous to W.N.W., wmd E.N.E. At Gorton l.v., 

 Oct. 10th, very high, E. to W., wind E.N.E.; 11th, continuous 

 9 a.m. to noon. At mouth of Deben, Oct. 29th to Nov. 1st, in 

 numbers. At Galloper l.v., Oct. 24th to Nov. 9th, many flocks. 

 At Shipwash l.v., Oct. 12th, 30th, and Nov. 3rd, flocks N.W. and 

 N.N.W. At Swin Middle l.v., Oct. 22nd, noon to 3 p.m., with 

 Rooks. At South-sand Head l.v., Sept. 16th, ten "Crows" to 

 N.W. — may have been Corvus corone ; Nov. 4th, two hundred 

 Crows to N.W. The majority of the Hooded Crows arrived from 

 Oct. 8th to 23rd, the greatest number on any given day probably 

 on the 11th. The main body passed on to the east coast between 

 Flamborough and Yarmouth, with northerly and easterly winds, 

 and travelling from E. to W., N.E. to S.W., and S.E. and S. 

 to N.W. 



Rook, Corvus fnigilegus. — Enormous as have been the number 

 of Crows crossing the North Sea the Rook has probably quite 

 equalled them. None were noticed at Heligoland, or indeed at 

 any station north of the Humber ; but from Spurn to the South- 

 sand Head they are recorded at sixteen stations, from Oct. 10th 

 to Nov. 12th, the greatest number crossing undoubtedly on Oct. 

 21st, and the majority during the autumn at the more southern 

 stations. Comparing the immigration of the Grey Crow with the 

 Rook we find that the former crossed more to the north than the 

 latter did. Thus Grey Crows are recorded from the Fames to 

 the mouth of the Thames : the majority into Holderness, Lincoln- 

 shire and Norfolk ; the Rooks from Spurn to the South Foreland, 

 the majority into the southern counties. Each, however, came 

 from, and travelled to, the same points of- the compass — E. to 

 W., or N.E. to S.W., or S.E. and S. to S.W. 



Daw, Corvus monedala. — At Great Cotes, Oct. 19th, several, 

 with Rooks, coming in from the sea. At Nortlirepps, Oct. 14th, 

 going N.W. At Galloper l.v., Oct. 17th, 7.45 a.m.. Rooks and 

 Daws, three to four hundred. 



Jay, Garrulus glandariiis. — Nil Return. There was, however, 

 a considerable influx into North-east Lincolnshire on or about 

 the last week in October. 



Pie, Pica rustica. — At Northrei:)ps, Oct. 17th, Mr. J. H. 

 Gurney observed two high up, going E.
