TABLES OF OBSERVATIONS
ON THE
ARRIVAL OF THE SUMMER MIGRANTS
AT EPPING (1828-1845),
BY HENRY DOUBLEDAY.
AND AT WRABNESS (1818-1830),
BY THE REV. REVETT SHEPPARD.
The two following tables seem to be worth reprinting, though the
greater part of the information contained therein has already been
published—Doubleday's observations in the Zoologist, and Sheppard's
in the Transactions of the Linnean Society. In both cases, however,
I have, curiously enough, come across copies of the original MS.
records, both containing additional information, which I have inserted.
Doubleday's observations are given in his letters to Heysham (10)
and Sheppard's in his son's letters to the same gentleman (17).
