Mr. Seebohm says it is want of food not want of warmth, but on the next page he narrates what he observed in Greece, which goes directly to negative this! There, in certain localities, insect life appeared to be superabundant, and some species of insect-eating birds remain and feed there all the year round; others stay during certain months, and on their leaving others come. How is this to be explained Again, amongst the immigrants which come to this country in the autumn are many of species well known to us, and which live with us all the year round. What is the reason why some individuals stay here altogether, and some only come from foreign countries for a few months and return thither Or do any of our home-breeders or their descendants join the foreigners when they leave us In Argyleshire, where I live during part of the year, a considerable number of Woodcocks breed. We see them during the breeding season, and their nests are found and the young ones seen from time to time, but during the autumn we see very few indeed; and after a good many years observation, and after having often talked it over with Mr. Hancock during his visits to us there, I am satisfied that these young birds dont all remain in the immediate neighbourhood where they are bred, but that some of them undertake a migration to Ireland or elsewhere; but what can be the reason for this I dont know. In making these remarks on this subject I have mainly had it in mind to show how much in even this one branch of Natural History there is yet to be done.
