migration. There seems little room for doubt as to the 

 success of the scheme for saving the migrants from destruc-

 now a rare occurrence to pick up any dead birds round the

 use of by the smaller migrating birds, and it is added that 

 "on the nights from November 4th to 12th there were large 

 flocks of birds resting."
