Note 11 — EAST COAST OF SCOTLAND.

All the previous records of this species in Scotland relate to localities the position of which shows comparatively easily how they arrived at each. These records now amount to six in all, of which I have recorded the last three since Mr. Gray wrote his 'Birds of the West of Scotland.' They are as follows:—

One: collection of Mr. Sinclair of Wick (R. Gray, op. cit., p. 84).

One: obtained at Cullen, Banff, by Mr. T. Edward (ditto).

One: Kirkwall, Orkney, 20th Dec, 1859 (R. Gray, op. cit.).

One: Higginsneuk, Stirlingshire, 10th Nov., 1875 (J. A. H. B., Proc. Ryl. Phyl. Soc, vol. iv., p. 142).

One: Pentland Skerries (J. A. H. B., op. cit.).

One: Isle of May (as given above).
