Abstract
THE German Government has issued an announcement referring to the work of the German bird migration research stations in Heligoland and at Rossitten where rings are attached every year to the feet of more than 160,000 migratory birds. The rings are inscribed with identification numbers and with the address of one or other of the stations “Vogelwarte Helgoland” or “Vogelwarte Rossitten” respectively. The stations are anxious to receive reports of the finding of these birds in any part of the world with the view of gaining further information as to bird migration and other phenomena of bird life. They will gratefully acknowledge all such reports, and are prepared to furnish in reply information not only as regards the bird in question, but also as regards their work generally. Reports will be sufficiently addressed if directed to Vogelwarte Helgoland, Germany, or Vogelwarte Rossitten, Germany.
