are some other Pied Flycatchers not far off, and I may be able to 

 say more of them by and by. This makes the third Solvvay nest of 

 the species that I have personally examined, and in addition there- 

 to I once met with a brood of fledglings. All the localities for 

 these four instances are rather widely scattered. ROBERT SERVICE, 

 Maxwelltown, Dumfries. 



Shetland Garden Warbler. J. C. Grierson, Esq., sent, for 



identification and record, a specimen of the Garden Warbler. It 



was found dead in the greenhouse tank the day before, i.e. Qth June 



1907. The locality is at Mr. Greirson's house Helendall, Lerwick.

Winter Movements of Woodeoek. The shoreward migration 

 of Woodcocks was very pronounced in December when the first 

 universal fall of snow took place there. Mr. Jas. Davidson saw 

 very few there till the 2nd week in December. Down to the ist 

 February in all 150 were shot on Innes property, but the keepers 

 only shot on Saturdays to supply six cock pheasants per week to 

 order. Our great flights here Central Scotland were ist to i5th 

 December. They were first known to have dropped in here on 2yth 

 and 28th November. There were big bags made on ist December 

 Mugdoch, 38 on that day. The second portion, or indeed second 

 flight, came in about ten days later, and on the i5th December 33 

 were killed in Torwood. On this ground on the ist December 

 over 20 were seen and 7 shot, which is almost I think a record in 

 autumn flight, though I have seen many more in a day about the 

 1 2th March. J. A. HARVIE-BROWN, Dunipace. 



Birds recently added to the Perth Museum. The following 

 interesting specimens, among others, collected in and around 

 Arbroath by Dr. T. F. and Dr. W. S. Dewar, have been presented 

 to the Perthshire Natural History Museum, in Perth, Fulmar 

 Petrel, Montagu's Harrier, Golden Oriole, Wryneck, Red-legged 

 Partridge, Black-tailed Godwit, also a Black Rat. The kindness of 

 the Messrs. Dewars is much appreciated by the Museum Committee. 

 A female Bittern (Botaurus stellaris) was taken in a very exhausted 

 condition, near a stream, not far from Carnoustie, on 2 ist January. 

 The bird died and is now in the Perth Museum. ALEX. M. RODGER,

Black-tailed Godwit (Limosa belgica] in Lanarkshire. There 

 is but one record of the occurrence of the Black-tailed Godwit 

 in Clyde during the spring, one having been shot on Loch 

 Lomond as long ago as May 1851, by the late Sir Geo. Hector 

 Leith Buchanan, Bart, of Ross Priory. This bird, in the bay dress 

 of summer, I saw in the collection of rare local birds at Ross Priory 

 a few years ago. This year on the 4th May I visited Gad Loch, 

 Lanarkshire, near Lenzie, with Messrs. A. Ross, A. M'Leod, and
