1921 .] Bird-Migration by the Marking Method .

X.—SUMMARY OF RECORDS OF OTHER SPECIES. 
SWALLOW (Hirundo rustica Linn.). 
There are three records of birds of this typically migratory 
species returning to the localities of marking in the following- 
seasons. Two were marked as nestlings and one as an adult, 
the details being as follows :— 
Case 15: Caught, marked, and released as an adult bird at a farm in 
Kent on 29 June, 1909; recaught at the same farm on 
14 June, 1910. 
Case 201: Marked as a nestling in Kincardineshire on 21 August, 
1910; found with a broken wing in the same "village 
on 22 May, 1911. 
Case 483: Marked as a nestling at Beaulieu, Hampshire, on 6 Sep¬ 
tember, 1912; caught in an outhouse, where it was 
believed to be nesting, at Ringwood, Hampshire, about 
eighteen miles from its birthplace, on 2 May, 1913. 
There are also two records of birds 'marked as nestlings 
being recorded from the places of marking in their first 
season : in one instance (Case 871) the date of recovery was 
as late as the 30th of October. 
It would be of special interest to compare the winter- 
quarters of British-bred Swallows with those of Swallows 
from other countries, in view of the statement made by 
Hartert (Yog. der palaarkt. Fauna, i. p. 801) that 44 doubt¬ 
less the most northerly dwellers migrate further south 
while the breeding birds of the Atlas Mountain region 
probably go only to the oases of the Sahara for the winter.” 
Unfortunately the proportion of records of value must 
always be very small, although Wither by (26) has had three 
marked Swallows of British origin reported to him from 
South Africa. 
GREENFINCH (Clitoris chloris Linn.). 
The only record revealing any movement is of a bird 
(Case 311) caught and marked at Inverurie, Aberdeen¬ 
shire, on 23 August, 1910, and recaught at Melvich, 
Sutherland, about 12 February, 1912. The remaining
