WHOSE PIGEON ?

I have been unable to find the owners of a ringed pigeon found dead by a correspondent near Downderry, St. Germans, Cornwall. The ring bears the legend Turp 29E 795. Perhaps the owner may see this announcement. I imagine that the pigeon was marked by a flier of homers, not by an ornitholo- gist, seeking evidence for migration routes ; but my Cornish correspondent does not state the variety of pigeon. In cases of discovery of a ringed bird the best procedure is to write to Mr. Witherby (" British Birds," Holborn, London), who is the arch-priest of the ringers. W. BEAM Titowns.
