202 ANNALS OF SCOTTISH NATURAL HISTORY 



locality. At St. Cyrus I have counted no fewer than ten 

 examples in a short walk on the sea border, all more or less 

 in an advanced state of decomposition. 



BLACK GUILLEMOT. Found here and there on the rocky coast. 

 Saw several in 1898 on the rocks at Muchalls, and I con- 

 jecture they breed at " Fowlsheugh." 



LITTLE AUK. Year after year there are specimens driven on our 

 coast in stormy weather. Some years ago one was got at 

 Auchinblae, and is now in the school collection. This year 

 (iyth March) one was found dead near my garden. Many 

 others are recorded. 



PUFFIN. Not very common, but I have seen solitary examples on 

 the coast at times. In 1898 one passed me within twenty 

 yards on the beach at Bervie. 



GREAT NORTHERN DIVER. Its name is given in some old works 

 on county lore, and being at times identified on the Forfar- 

 shire coast, doubtless the bird may be claimed for this county. 



LITTLE GREBE. Frequently found about the less disturbed inland 

 lochs, where it breeds. 



THE FISHES OF THE FIRTH OF FORTH AND 

 ITS TRIBUTARIES: No. II. FURTHER AD- 

 DITIONS AND OCCURRENCES OF RARE 

 SPECIES SINCE DR. PARNELL'S "ESSAY" OF 



1837- 



By WILLIAM EAGLE CLARKE, F.L.S. 



IN a previous communication ("Annals," 1900, pp. 8-17), I 

 enumerated the fishes which had been added to the fauna 

 of the Forth waters since the publication of Dr. Parnell's 

 " Essay," and gave the essential particulars relating to the 

 occurrence of each species. 



In the present contribution I propose (i)to supplement 

 my former paper by the addition of two species, and to give 

 some further information concerning certain fishes treated of 

 therein; 1 and (2) to give particulars of the occurrence of 



1 That this should be necessary is due to the fact that the first contribution 

 had to be produced at a few hours' notice, to supply the place of another paper 

 which failed us at the last moment.
