176 THE SCOTTISH NATURALIST 



Skerries on the 4th and 6th. From the loth to the 20th the 

 predominating feature of the returns are the great numbers 

 of Little Auks, cast up on our shores by the easterly gales 

 and high seas, which prevailed from the loth to the i6th. 

 With the advent of the frost on the 19th, a weather movement 

 is recorded from the Butt of Lewis, from the Mull of 

 Galloway, Killantringan, and Little Ross lanterns, where a 

 further movement is noted on the 28th. With the exception 

 of the above there was nothing worthy of mention here.
