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_.
[Footnote 10: No less than 84 schedules were returned.]
