The swallow immigrates from
Western Africa to Great Britain every
spring, remaining there about six
months. The swallow goes all over the
world, even so far north as Norway
and Lap and. During their migration
swallows have been repeatedly known
to settle upon the rigging of vessels,
apparently suffering from extreme ex-
haustion. and after remaining a night
to rest renew their journey refreshed
and inyigorated. They invariably re-
turn to the tropics for winter.
