_Note._--It is striking that with such monstrous heavy cumuli, that have the appearance of storm-clouds, so much migration takes place. There must be better weather at hand.
26th, early calm, draught of air southerly, still so heavy threatening cumuli at W. and N., but in spite thereof much migration; in evening south-easterly, light, clear, clouds disappear, therefore more favourable weather for migration.--Very numerous migration. _F. peregrinus_, one; _æsalon_ and _nisus_, several. _C. corax_, a little flight, about fifteen. _T. musicus_ and _torquatus_, many.
