226 PROCEEDINGS OF THE 



week of December, 1880, Mr. D. Dewar shot a Brarubliug at 

 Remony. It is a rare bird in the district. 



Marsh Harrier. — Circus aeruginosas (Linnaeus). — Col. D. Hay 

 thinks it possible that this species may still exist in some of the 

 wilder parts of Rannoch Moor. He saw one lately in the hands of 

 Mr. Malloch, Perth, in the flesh, shot in this district. 



Iceland Falcon. — Falco islandicus, Gmelin. — In the beginning 

 of the summer of 1880 an Iceland Falcon was shot by a keeper in 

 Glen Dochart, and sent to Mr. D. Dewar to stuff. 



Dotterel. — Eudromias morincllus (Linnaeus). — Two out of a 

 flock of three were shot by Mr. Dewar on Stron Chorm on 1st 

 October, 1880. They were male and female, and were the first seen 

 by him for twenty-five years. 



Black Guillemot. — Uria grylle (Linnaeus). — One was shot on 

 Loch Tay, by Mr. Dewar, on the 7th November, 1881, and was 

 sent to me for identification. 



Obs. Crested Grebe. — Podiceps cristatus (Linnaeus). — Col. 

 D. Hay remembers seeing a pair obtained near Dunkeld, which, he 

 believes, were shot on Loch Ordie. 



Obs. Red-necked Grebe. — Podiceps rubricollis, Latham. 



Obs. Horned Grebe. — Podiceps cornutus (Gmelin). — Two 

 Grebes were shot by Mr. Dewar on Loch Tay during the winter of 

 1880-81, and from careful drawings and measurements made by 

 him, they belonged, I have no doubt, to the above-mentioned 

 species. 



Little Grebe. — Podiceps minor, (Gmelin). — One was shot at 

 Killiechassie, on the Tay, by Mr. J. C. Shairp in 1879. Often 

 seen on the long, still pools of the Tay at Logierait. 



Stormy Petrel. — Procellaria pdagica, Linnaeus. — One was 

 picked up dead by Mr. Dewar's son on the shore of Loch Tay, 

 having been driven against a hedge by the storm on 12th December, 

 1881. 



25th April, 1882. 



Mr. John Kirsop, F.S.A.Scot., Vice-President, in the Chair. 



Mr. William A. Rattray, 3 Mansfield Place, was elected an 

 ordinary member of the Society. 



On the motion of the Chairman the Society unanimously agreed 

 to put on record their regret at the death of Dr. Charles Darwin, 

 F.R.S., the eminent naturalist.
