The author reviews what is known about the migratory and homing abilities of birds and other animals. His interest is to find out whether their technology is applicable to long-distance navigation by man. He concludes that the mechanism of animal navigation is a complex integration of many senses whose details are unlikely to be discovered soon.<>
