. [Articles about birds from National geographic magazine]. Birds. 94 THE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC MAGAZINE. A PAIR OF HONKERS After being banded, these two Geese took up their interrupted migra tion none the worse for the markers they wore away with them. have sent out the Raven and the Dove to prospect for land. The first record of hirds being marked to distinguish them after flight appears to be in the tenth book of PHny's Natural History, which states that a Roman sportsman took Swallows from Volaterree (Volterra), in Tuscany, to Rome. Dur- ing the chariot races the birds were marked with colors of the winners and then liberated to carry the news back home. For a time prior to the development of systematic banding, students desirous of lifting the veil of mystery surrounding bird movements cut the feathers so they could readily be identified. Sometimes they marked the birds with bright colors, or attached a small piece of parchment with a legend to a feather or to a leg. These crude and scattered efforts gave little information. The first record of a bird banded appears to have been made in 1710. A Great Gray Heron, bearing several rings on one leg, was taken in Germany. One of the rings ap- parently had been placed on it in Turkey. In 1899 Professor C. C. ilortensen, a school-teacher of Vi- borg, Denmark, began systematically to band and record Storks, Starlings, and other birds along the gen- eral lines which are still in use. Thus he became the pioneer in practical, scientific methods of bird band- ing, and his success led to the work being taken up in various places, especially in Great Britain, Sweden, elsewhere in Europe, and also in the United States. The two records of birds banded in Europe being taken on this side of the Atlantic appear to be both of Kittiwake Gulls. The first was a young bird banded June 28, 1923, on the Earne Islands, oft' the coast of Northumberland. On Au- gust 12, 1924, it was killed in the District of St. Barbe, Newfoundland. The seco
