The swallow immigrates from
Western Africa 10 Great Britain every
spring, remaining there about siI
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 OK
haustion, and after remaining a night
to rest renew their journey refreshed
and invigorated. They invariably re-
turn TO the tropics for winter.
