Summary of Observations. 



January. — On several occasions during the month a few 

 Thrushes, Fieldfares, Blackbirds, Larks, Starlings, and Curlews 

 were observed at the lanterns, but all the movements recorded 

 appear to be purely local in their nature. 



February. — The same species are occasionally and locally 

 noted as in January; but on the 17th, Wheatears were noted
