Migrations of Birds

Abstract

I NOTICED some time ago a communication in NATURE respecting this subject, stating that it would be instructive and interesting alike if naturalists would record any data they may have collected on this subject. For years now this matter has had my careful attention, and I therefore forward a few notes for the last two seasons, and also put forward the hope that observers stationed in other parts of the United Kingdom will contribute information of a like nature. I would also say that the weather noted applies to the night—the time, by the way, generally chosen for migratory movements.
