H4 THE SCOTTISH NATURALIST 



Scourie ,; about 20 nests. F. Bonnett. 



Skye, Dunvegan, named in first list; now 200 nests. F. Bonnett, 

 fide Capt. Norman M. MacLeod, C.M.G. 



Obs. This is a remarkable increase, as the Rev. H. A. 

 Macpherson found only 30 to 40 nests in 1888 Fauna of 

 the North-West Highlands and Skye, 1904, p. 215. So far as 

 my knowledge goes, no other colony in Scotland approaches 

 this in numbers. 



Argyll and the Inner Hebrides. 



Ardnamurchan, named in first list ; from 60 to 70 nests each year 

 in sea-cliffs Stron-bheag, Ormsaigbeg, and Kilchoan. About a 

 dozen nests on Carna Island, Loch Sunart. Angus Henderson. 



Kildalton, Islay; three small heronries. Alexander Ross. 



Lossett House, Machrihanish ; 1 nest in 1910, 2 in 1911, none in 

 191 2. H. P. O. Cleave. 



Riska Isle, Loch Moidart ; 80 to 100 nests, but it is difficult to 

 state the number definitely. F. Bonnett. 



Obs. Loch Awe, Argyllshire, is included in a recent list 

 in error for the loch of the same name in Assynt. 



Clyde. 



Balnacailly, North Bute, some years ago ; Rhunabodach Wood, 9 or 

 10 nests in 1912. D. Mackenzie. 



Douglas Castle, named in first list ; in 1913 the nests were fewer 

 than usual, but at least 6 were noted. Glasgoiv Naturalist, 

 v., 1913, p. 129. 



Duchal, Renfrewshire; 1 pair in 1912. T. Thornton MacKeith. 



Ellary, Ardrishaig ; 4 or 5 nests. F. Bonnett. 



*Kintyre, Mull of, named in first list with a query ; no nests now, 

 and no evidence of nesting there at any time. H. P. O. Cleave. 



Killellan, Campbeltown ; single nest and 3 nests at two separate 

 places in 191 2. H. P. O. Cleave. 



Rosneath, named in first list ; greatly reduced in numbers ; twenty 

 years ago there were 60 nests. \X. C. Maughan. 



Stonefield, Kilcalmonell ; about 6 nests. H. P. O. Cleave. 



Obs. Kilmory, named in first list, is stated in Mr Bonnett's 

 list (19 1 2) to have 100 nests, but this is due to a mistaken 

 reading of a sentence repeated in a recent edition of Johns' 

 British Birds in their Haunts, to the effect that there is a 

 heronry "within a hundred yards of the house." Not a hundred 

 nests in any case, although there may be a few still about.
