autumn. The respective journeys of these birds were from Viborg in 

 northern Denmark to Diekow in Brandenburg; from Viborg to Walkow 

 near Frank fort-on-the-Oder; from Viborg to Marclowitz in Austrian Silesia; 

 and from AYeseram in Brandenburg to Hermannstadt in south-eastern 

 Hungary, (Mortensen, Dansh ornith. Forenings Tidsskrift, 1907, pp. 147, 155): 

 and from Geschendorf, near Liibeck, to Michelwitz, near Breslau ; from 

 Poppendorf in Mecklenburg-Schwerin to Tenczinau in Upper Silesia; from 

 Lippehue in Brandenburg to Kassa Bola in northern Hungary ; from 

 Bixhne in the Harz Mountains to Sehma in the Erzo-ebirse, not far from 

 Chemnitz; from Langfelde, near Danzig, to Goubieszow in the Polish 

 Government of Lublin ; and finally, from Agilla in East Prussia to Sorquitten 

 in the same province (Thienemann, Zoolog. Jahrbitcher, suppl. xii., pp. 

 065-686, and plates 16-18). All these journeys have the same south- 

 easterly direction, and, it may be remarked, cross at right angles the south- 

 westerly routes followed by most species at that season. 



No marked Storks have as yet been returned from the Balkan States or 

 from Asia Minor, but three East Prussian Storks have been obtained in 

 Syria, one in the April following marking, and the others in April and July 

 of the second year after marking : a Hungarian Stork has also been reported 

 from Syria. A fourth East Prussian Stork has been obtained in Palestine, in 

 August. Next we have a record of a Stork obtained near Alexandria, in May 

 of the year following that of its marking in East Prussia. Three Storks, 

 marked in East Prussia in summer, have been respectively recorded during 

 their first autumn from Jawa on Lake Fittri near Lake Chad (October), from 

 Bosaires on the Blue Nile (30th October), and from the Island of Ukerewe 

 in Lake Victoria-Nyanza (30th November). Next comes a record from 

 Morogoro in German East Africa, but the exact details of this bird are not 

 yet certain, the number on the ring not having been reported. Fort 

 Jameson, in north-eastern Khodesia, is the next locality: here a Stork was 

 shot on 9th December 1907. which had been born and reared in Pommerania 

 a few months before; there it had left the nest on 10th August, and had 

 ilown away on 25th or 26th August. This bird is now in the little museum 

 at Kossitteu. Next we have a record of an East Prussian Stork shot in the 

 Kalahari Desert during its first winter. Finally, we have seven Storks 

 marked in East Prussia and the neighbouring provinces, and obtained in the 

 winter months in the Transvaal, Natal, Basutoland, northern Cape Colony, etc. 

 There are also seventeen records of Hungarian Storks from this same region, 

 one of them for July of the year following marking, and another for as 

 far west as German South-West Africa (Thienemann, loc. ciL; and Schenk, 

 Aqicila, vols, xv., xvi. and xvii.).
