. British birds. Birds. ores. LONG NESTING-SEASON OF THE MARTIN. About May lOth, 1917, the Martins (Delichon u. urbica) began to build and reconstruct their old nests at Jesmond, Newcastle- on-Tyne, and on May 28th one nest contained three eggs. On October 14th I noticed a Martin apparently feeding young in one of these nests, and on the following morning I examined the nest with the help of a ladder, and found that it contained four young, which I had some difificulty in persuading to remain after my inspection. On October 19th I saw two young Martins on the roof of a house opposite, and both the old birds flying about. Isaac Clakk. [For other instances of October broods see 0. V.

Although Cuckoos [Cticidus c. canorus) were very numerous round Felsted in 1917, only fourteen nests were found which contained cuckoos' eggs or nestlings. This is a far smaller number than usual. Probably it is parity due to the great decrease in the number of our resident birds, but in a greater measure to the fact that the intense heat rendered prolonged searching very exhausting. I had great hopes that, as birds were so scarce, some very unusual foster-parents would be found, but except that I found a Cuckoo's egg in a Song-Thrush's nest, I was disappointed. In this case unfortunately a storm of wind and rain tilted the nest very much, and the Thrush deserted it before beginning to sit. The same Cuckoo had victimized six Hedge-Sparrows within a radius of about a hundred yards of this nest. The first egg of this series was laid about May 13th, and I found what was probably the last in the Thrush's nest on June 29th. It was then quite fresh, but was desert
