“…In the north of the West Morocco sector, Common Whitethroats are extremely numerous in southwestern Iberia in autumn (though not equally on the opposite coast of Morocco- Moreau 1959), apparently much more so than in spring; while inside the Straits, in East Morocco, Brosset found the reverse, great abundance in spring and almost complete absence in autumn. Alongside this may be put the apparent paucity of the species on the opposite, southeastern, shore of Spain in autumn (Perrins, pers.…”

“…In contrast to former authors, who drew migration routes at all the short crossings of the Mediterranean, Moreau (1934Moreau ( , 1938Moreau ( , 1953 provided abundant evidence for the occurrence of small passerine and other species in this area on a broad front, including at the widest crossings, which are some 450 miles between southern France and Algeria and some 650 miles between Corfu and Tripoli and also between Macedonia and Tobruk.…”

Summary. Small passerine species regularly migrate across at least 600 miles of sea, and some take longer journeys, notably the Greenland Wheatear. Disputes concerning the crossing of the Gulf of Mexico, Mediterranean and North Sea are summarized. Pre‐migratory fat seems enough for a continuous Bight of 24–36 hours and perhaps more. Most of it is lost after drift.3. Diurnal migrants tend to coast into the wind before setting out to sea, especially in weather rather unfavourable for migration. Their following of coasts has no “guiding” significance. Sometimes they coast after crossing the sea. Night‐migrants do not normally follow coastlines. The track of migrants over the sea by day and night is normally the resultant between their heading and the wind. This type of drift is not usually responsible for big “falls”, which are often associated with overcast weather. In overcast weather at sea migrants can sometimes maintain their heading, while at other times they are disoriented (so drift with the wind). That they turn to fly down‐wind is extremely doubtful, but there are still various puzzling features about drift. Redetermined movements occur after drifted migrants have landed. Some other problems are discussed, and problems for future work are suggested.
