518 Dr. A. L. Thomson : Results of a Study of [Ibis, 
within a few miles of the places of marking. Of these ten 
records, four refer to the summer of marking, two to the 
following winter (February and March), three to subsequent 
summers (after 1, 2, and 3 years respectively), and one to 
the bird’s third winter (February). The remaining cases 
exhibit movement :— 
Case 440 : Marked as a nestling at Inverurie, Aberdeenshire, on 
5 June, 1913 ; 
shot near Montrose, Forfarshire, in November of the 
same year. 
Case 441: Marked as a nestling at Beith, Ayrshire, on 27 May, 
1913; 
shot at Shifnal, Shropshire, on 23 January, 1914. 
The species is both a resident in the British Isles and a 
winter visitor in very variable numbers : the local movements 
of the two categories are not distinguishable by other methods 
than that of marking. 
GOLDEN PLOVER (Charadrius apricarius Linn.). 
One (Case 263) marked as a chick in Inverness-shire on 
21 May, 1911, was shot in County Mayo, Ireland, about 
13 October of the same year. 
RINGED PLOVER (JEgialitis hiaticula Linn.). 
One (Case 825) marked as a chick in East Lothian was 
recovered in the same district after four years and eight 
months. 
DUNLIN (Tringa alpina Linn.). 
One (Case 411) marked as an adult caught on its nest on 
the Pentland Skerries, Orkney Islands, was recovered within 
fifty yards of the same spot ten months later. 
Dunlins caught on passage at Bossitten, East Prussia, 
have been recorded by Thienemann (16) from Essex, the 
Gironde estuary, and the Rhone delta. 
CURLEW (Numenius arquata Linn.). 
One (Case 412) marked as a chick in Inverness-shire on 
1 June, 1912, was shot in County Tyrone, Ireland, on the
