A COLLECTION OF HELMINTHS FROM THE GREAT BUSTARD, OTIS TARDA FROM SPAIN, WITH A DESCRIPTION OF A NEW SPECIES OF OXYSPIRURA (NEMATODA).

Summary.In a collection of helminths from a great bustard, Otis tarda from Spain which died in the gardens of the Zoological Society of London, three species of helminths were found. They are Oxyspirura hispanica sp. nov., a spirurid from the orbital socket; Aprocta orbitalis Linstow, 1901, a filariid, also from the orbital socket, and a new host record for the parasite; and Idiogenes otidis Krabbe, 1867, a davaineid tapeworm in which the scolex is described for the first time.

OBSERVATIONS ON THE AUTUMN MIGRATION IN THE AREA BETWEEN THE SEA OF AZOV AND THE CASPIAN

Summary.Bird‐migration was observed 5 October‐14 November 1942 along 150 km. of railway line between Salsk and Stalingrad (between the Sea of Azov and the Lower Volga). The typical steppe‐birds of South Russia were recorded—larks, harriers, bustards etc.—and also astonishing numbers of crows, starlings, finches, thrushes, pigeons and others. Magpies, Yellow Buntings (many), sparrows, Crested Larks, Great Tits and Partridges also appeared as migrants.Most birds were travelling southwest or south but the geese were going west (except for one flock), as were Redwings and part of the Great Bustards and Yellow Buntings. Eastward movement was rare.The immediate destination of the birds observed can only be presumed, but those flying west would reach the coasts of the Sea of Azov and very likely continue further. Birds flying southwest and south were headed for the eastern half of the Black Sea, or the Caucasus. This range, which forms a very pronounced barrier, is well known to be crossed by migrants.After the autumn sojourn another period of observation followed, 1–18 January 1943 (mostly between Proletarskaja and Salsk).In all, 45 species were observed alive, and under telegraph wires birds of 25 species were found dead, including 10 not otherwise recorded.
