Abstract
THE migrations of birds have been known for J- centuries, and have, particularly in recent years, been moderately well studied and understood. The migrations of fishes are also generally known, and within the last few years the remarkable journeys of the eel have been definitely determined. Most people know that locusts make huge migratory flights, invading countries in countless numbers and doing incalculable damage; but it is surprising how few are aware that such frail insects as butterflies make extended migratory flights, often in enormous numbers and over hundreds and even thousands of miles.
