338 The Scottish Naturalist. 



115. Pink-footed Goose. Not over-abundant, but in fair 



numbers ; in the fall and winter many are shot in the 

 district. 



116. White- fronted Goose. Doubtful but said to have been 



shot in this locality in severe winters. 



117. Brent Goose. Occasionally killed on this coast in winter. 



118. Canadian Goose. Doubtful. 



119. Whooper Swan. This and the other Swans cannot be 



said properly to belong to my special locality, although 

 at times one or two are observed. Some months ago 

 (June) three wild swans were discovered on aioch in 

 the immediate neighbourhood. One was caught alive ; 

 but escaped before being fully identified. 



120. Common Shieldrake. Although outside my radius as 



a resident, yet at times it strays within it. It breeds 

 somewhat west of my extreme boundary. 



121. Ruddy Shieldrake. As with the former I cannot claim 



this as a resident ; but as found on Barry Links, and 

 preserved in Arbroath, I add the bird to my list. 



122. Wild Duck. Locally distributed and fairly abundant. 



About the latter end of autumn large flocks come to the 

 seashore, and to the lochs in the vicinity of the town. 



123. GadwalL Very doubtful, even as a winter visitor. 



1 24. Shoveller. Only a winter visitor, occurring almost 



annually in fair numbers. 



125. Common Teal. A local bird, breeding regularly in 



marshy districts ; Leysmill and such like localities being 

 specially its habitat. 



126. Garganey Teal, known' to have been got outside my 



, limited area. 



127. Pintail. Winter visitor, but occurring only at rare in- 



tervals. 



128. Wigeon. I remember a collector having one sent him 



which was got in our Harbour and since then I have 

 seen several; it is a winter visitor. 



129. Pochard. Not known to breed here, though at times 



shot near town. One was got near Kelly Castle in 

 January, 1885. 



130. Scaup. Sometimes met with, from late autumn to early 



spring.
