It is satisfactory to note that not only has the number of stations making returns been largely augmented, but also that the schedules have considerably increased in number from most stations.[10] It is pleasing, too, to observe the pains and evident interest taken by most of the recorders. Our best thanks are due to the observers above named for their invaluable co-operation, and for the faithful manner in which they have filled in their schedules. To Messrs Ainger (Eddystone), Baker (Smalls), Clyne (Langness), Johnson (Longships), Jones (Start), Knott (Bull Point), Lewis (Burnham), Nicholas (Nash), Rees (Skerries), Walters and Johnson (Breaksea), Webber and Howells (Helwick), and Work and Clague (Dee), additional and especial thanks are due for sending the wings of the species unknown to them killed or captured at their respective stations. The result of the first efforts in this direction has been highly satisfactory; a very considerable number of wings have been received, representing the following species:—Turdus viscivorus, T. musicus, T. merula, T. torquatus, Saxicola œnanthe, Pratincola rubetra, P. rubicola, Sylvia cinerea, S. atricapilla, Phylloscopus collybita, P. trochilus, Acrocephalus phragmitis, Locustella nævia, Regulus cristatus, Troglodytes parvulus, Motacilla rayi, Anthus pratensis, A. trivialis, A. obscurus, Muscicapa grisola, Emberiza miliaria, Alauda arvensis, Caprimulgus europæus, Cuculus canorus, Gallinula chloropus, Tringa alpina, T. canutus, and Procellaria leucorrhoa.
[10] No less than 84 schedules were returned.
Diary of the Migratory Movements as Observed at the various Stations.
The sequence of the stations is from north to south. The meteorological conditions prevailing during the more important movements are extracted from "The Daily Weather Reports"[11] issued by the Meteorological Office. The wind and weather, as observed at the stations, are given in parenthesis; for the weather, the symbols of the Beaufort scale have been adopted;[12] while the force of the wind ranges from to 12.
[11] These Reports cover not only the British Islands, but also Western Europe, from Bodo and Haparanda to Corunna and Toulon, and are based upon numerous returns from the area indicated.
[12] Beaufort scale:—B. blue sky; C. detached clouds; D. drizzling rain; F. fog; G. dark, gloomy; H. hail; L. lightning; M. misty; O. overcast; P. passing showers; Q. squally; E. rain; S. snow; T. thunder; U. ugly, threatening; V. visibility, unusual transparency; W. dew.
The diction of the recorders has been adhered to as closely as possible. The identification of the species marked * has been verified from wings sent to the Committee.
