Excerpt from British Birds, Vol. 4 The vear covered by our fourth volume has been marked by a steady advance rather than by any very striking event in British ornithology. The interest in the Marking Scheme continues to grow, and the recoveries already announced show excellent promise for the future. Such an inquiry must necessarily be continued for some years before results of real value can be obtained, but we now feel assured that the ringing of birds, if conducted on a scale equal to that of last year, will be the means of our gaining a considerable knowledge of the exact movements of individual birds - a subject of which we now know practically nothing. We ma}, here again express our gratitude to those numerous readers who, by their enthusiastic co-operation, are making the scheme a success.
