68 ANNALS OF SCOTTISH NATURAL HISTORY 



SCOTTISH HERONRIES, PAST AND PRESENT. 



SUPPLEMENTARY TO LIST IN THE " ANNALS OF 

 SCOTTISH NATURAL HISTORY," OCTOBER 1908, 



pp. 218-23. 



By HUGH BOYD WATT, M.B.O.U. 



INFORMATION which has been received from correspondents 

 and from the pages of the " Annals," and other sources, 

 enables the corrections and additions summarised below to 

 be made in the list referred to. As was anticipated by the 

 writer some further names should have been starred as 

 extinct nesting-places, and these are marked * below. The 

 large proportion of names now starred under " Tweed," 

 and also some of those under " Forth," is due to an 

 omission in marking certain names, which were obtained 

 from Mr. Muirhead's " Birds of Berwickshire " (vol. ii. 



1895). 



The names of my informants are given with each item, 

 and I again beg to express my thanks and obligations to 

 them.
