  creasing 
  species, 
  but 
  our 
  present 
  knowledge 
  shows 
  it 
  to 
  be 
  more 
  truly 
  

   an 
  Autumn 
  Visitant 
  than 
  one 
  which 
  is 
  found 
  at 
  any 
  other 
  season. 
  

  

  Where, 
  however, 
  any 
  species 
  occurs 
  under 
  more 
  than 
  one 
  head- 
  

   ing, 
  it 
  will 
  be 
  placed 
  in 
  brackets, 
  so 
  as 
  to 
  avoid 
  being 
  counted 
  over 
  

   more 
  than 
  once 
  in 
  the 
  final 
  additions. 
  

  

  When 
  further 
  short 
  notes 
  are 
  considered 
  of 
  sufficient 
  interest 
  in 
  

   the 
  following 
  analysis, 
  such 
  will 
  be 
  inserted 
  in 
  footnotes 
  and 
  smaller 
  

   type, 
  and 
  by 
  this 
  means 
  another 
  Appendix 
  to 
  our 
  text 
  will 
  be

  Hinxman 
  writes 
  to 
  us 
  (25/xi/95) 
  : 
  — 
  1 
  Marsh 
  Tits 
  are 
  very 
  numerous 
  about 
  Kin- 
  

   craig 
  this 
  autumn. 
  I 
  see 
  a 
  dozen 
  for 
  one 
  I 
  saw 
  in 
  the 
  breeding 
  season, 
  and 
  am 
  

   inclined 
  to 
  think 
  that 
  this 
  is 
  not 
  solely 
  due 
  to 
  the 
  ordinary 
  autumn 
  Hocking 
  together, 
  

   but 
  that 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  certain 
  amount 
  of 
  migration 
  from 
  other 
  parts.' 
  Mr. 
  Sim 
  is 
  

   positive 
  as 
  regards 
  the 
  rarity 
  of 
  this 
  species 
  in 
  ' 
  Dee.'

  As 
  early 
  as 
  1816, 
  Mr.

  E. 
  Leach,

  then 
  keeper 
  of 
  the 
  Zoological 
  Depart- 
  

   ment 
  of 
  the 
  British 
  Museum, 
  obtained 
  a
