Hedge-Sparrow {Accentor modularis).—, No. 991, marked by Miss Annie C. Jackson at Swordale, Evanton, Ross-shire, on November 4th, 1909. Recovered (caught in a mouse-trap) at the same place on March 30th, 1910. RECOVERY OF A MARKED SWALLOW. On April 12th, 1910, the first Swallow (Hirundo rustica) was seen at 4 passing the house at Huntbourne, High Halden, Kent, which lies in the line of a small migration-route ; at 6 a small flight of Swallows passed over to the north, and from it four birds separated, and after flying round the house and settling on the chimney-pots, finally went to roost in a shed where two pairs bred last year. Two days after- wards I caught a Swallow at roost in this shed, almost certainly one of those that arrived on the 12th, and found it was one which my sister had caught and ringed as an adult bird on May 8th, 1909, the bird having come down one of the chimneys into one of the rooms. I may note that there was no mark or injury of any kind on the leg which bore the ring. Claud B.
