30. Motacilla lugubris, Temm. Pied Wagtail. A few pairs 



scattered over the district. 



31. Motacilla sulpJmrea, Beclist. Grey Wagtail. More rare than 



the preceding. 



32. Motacilla myi (Bona]).) Eay's Wagtail. An occasional visitor. 



33. Anthus olscurus (Lath.) Eock Pipit. Common all along the 



coast. I have more than once seen one of this species 

 come on board the Highland steamers, and pick up crumbs 

 or other morsels of food, close to passengers and others, 

 without showing the least fear. 



34. Anthus loratensis (L.) Meadow Pipit. Very common. 



35. Anthus trivialis (L.) Tree Pipit. One seen by me in 1876, 

 ■ . and doubtless not very rare. 



36. Turclus viscivorus, L. Missel Thrush. Common. 



37. Turclus pilaris, L. Fieldfare. Common in winter and spring. 



A white specimen was observed all the winter of 1876-77. 



38. Turdus musicus, L. Thrush. Common. 



39. Turdus iliacus, L. Redwing. A few in winter. 



40. Turdus merula, L. Blackbird. Common. 



41. Turdus torquatus, L. Ring ouzel. A few pairs on the hills. 



42. Cinclus aquaticus, Bechst. Dipper. Very local and not 



common, feeds occasionally on the sea-shore, at the mouth 

 of streams. 



43. Muscicajm grisola, L. Spotted Flycatcher. Common in 



wooded parts. 



44. Picoy rustica (Scop.) Magpie. A pair frequented the manse 



orchard in the western part of the district, for 4 or 5 years 

 after 1856, having probably crossed from Mull, the nearest 

 trees in any other direction being 12 miles off; they 

 bred for a season or two, their young being destroyed 

 regularly by gamekeepers, who ultimately killed the old 

 birds also. 



45. Corvus corax, L. Raven. Not so common as formerly, but 



still far from rare ; more common in spring and autumn. 



46. Corvus comix, L. Hooded Crow. Too common. 



47. Corvus frugilegus, L. Rook. There is no rookery in the 



district, but detachments from Mull, Morven, and Sunart, 

 are regular visitants. Occasionally these take up their 

 evening quarters for weeks together on the trees of the 

 manse garden.
