INGRESS AND MIGRATION OF SNIPES:

A Society of Sportsmen in the County of Nora
folk, have agree il to devote much attention to as-
certain in what degree Snipes are migratory, anti at
what periods they depart from and return' to this
Country. It is knoin that.a considerable number
of these birds arc bred upon. the.moOri, heaths, and
fens of Norfolk and Suffolk ; but no data are yet
established to prove that this race alone is sufficient
to account for the very abundant,appearince of.Snipets
upon almost all the marshes, from the preient .time
till the end of Oriober, when they disappear till the
end of February.. It appears. that . the projcas of
this Society, whose skied. seems to be to establish
a complete Natural History of 'the Snipe, will. be
condutied upon' a very extensive scale,-as.they mean
to have correspondents upon the Coast, to watch for.
the ingress and migration of these. singular, birds--7
while others are to be established on the small and
rapid. streams of the County, and in the vicinity of
the extensive fens, where they are known to har-
bour. • As the times of their migration arc knowri
to be synchronous with occurrences in the king!
doms of Naturalists, these. Agents are to take "60
when their appearance or disappearance Coincides
with any fan observable in the animal or vegetable
kingdoms ; though these c.incidences can only be
confirmed by the observations of several years.
