(2) African migrants, i.e. birds which spend the southern 
summer months (October to March) in South Africa, 
breed there, and move off probably into tropical 
Africa during the South African winter. The Stripe- 
breasted Swallow and Red-chested Cuckoo are quoted 
as examples.

(8) Wandering birds which move from place to place, 
their movements probably being connected with 
their food supply, and also some local birds which go 
off to certain remote places to breed. In East Africa 
the Green and other Pigeons move about a great deal 
for food and the Kites go away to build and breed. 
(4) Resident-birds which remain in the same place all the 
year round and hardly move away at all. 
By the time this Journal comes out the migrants will be 
arriving, and if members of the Society will make a note of when 
they see any European bird for the first time in autumn and 
the last time in spring, and send their observations, we shall 
soon get an idea of the dates when the migrants arrive and 
depart.
