 Harvie Brown, Esq., ipse, Proc. R. Phil. Soc. IV., p. 142. 



13. White Spotted Blue Throat (Cyanecula Wolfi). — A specimen 

 of this, the more southern of the Blue Throats, is described by Mr. Harvie 

 Brown in the Scottish Naturalist, of January, 1882, p. 205, as having been 

 got on the Isle of May, on the 22nd September, 1 88 1. 



14. Red-spotted Blue Throat (Cyanecula Suecica). — Mr. George 

 Sim, Aberdeen, records the capture of a specimen of the northern Blue Throat 

 at Aberdeen, 16th May, 1872, which flew on board a fisherman's boat. {Scot. 

 Nat. f July, 1872, p. 226.) 



17. Lesser "Whitethroat- — Fully believed to have been seen by the 

 late Sir Thomas Moncrieffe, a keen observer, breeding at Moncrieffe, but the 

 nest was unfortunately destroyed before the eggs were laid. In Aberdeenshire, 

 Mr. George Sim, Fyvie, makes mention of an example having been shot at 

 Gourdas, Fyvie, 4th Nov., 1880, and another seen near there. — {Scot. JVat., 

 vol. vi., p. 13.) 



18. Blackcap not reported from Kincardine, but probably found. 



19. Garden Warbler is reported from Aberdeen by Mr. G. Sim and 

 Rev. T. Sell. 



21. ChifP-chaff. — Dr. Macgillivray, in his " History of Deeside," men- 

 tions the bird as found there, but considered as a rare visitor ; and Mr. Gray 

 states that Mr. Angus obtained one, on the 8th May, 1865, and in the May 

 following he saw it at Aboyne, and again in June, 1867, at Wardhouse, near 

 Insch. — (Bds. W. Scot., p. 9S.) Is reported from Montrose by the curator of 

 the Montrose Museum, and from Arbroath by A. H. Simpson, Esq. Nest 

 and eggs reported from Craigie, near Perth, 18S4; but the bird has never been 

 obtained there. It is supposed to have occurred in Rannoch. 



22. Willow Wren is the commonest of our summer migrants through- 

 out nearly the whole district. In Perth, I have seen it breeding on the Island 

 in Loch Lydoch, above Rannoch Moor.
