35. Crested Titmouse is mentioned by Yarrell as found in the Pass of 

 Killiecrankie, but I have never been able to substantiate this, nor have I a 

 notice of it from any other part of Perth, with the exception of two specimens 

 got in the Forth district, in the Blairdrummond woods, by the late Dr. Saxby, 

 in April, 1858.— (Gray, Bds, W. Scot., p. 104.) 



36. Nuthatch.— Recorded by Don, in his " Fauna of Forfarshire," as 

 having been got in the Tannadice woods, near Forfar, in the beginning of the 

 century ; and in Perthshire it is enumerated among the rare birds of the parish 

 of Killin by the Rev, Patrick Grant.— (Gray, Bds. W. Scot., p. 200.) 



39. White Wagtail. — Mr. D'Arcy W. Thompson makes mention of 

 two of these birds having been got at Burntisland, in Oct., 1875.— (Scot. A at., 



vol. iv., p. 328). 



40. Pied Wagtail, in Perth and Fife, does not always remain during 

 winter. 



42. Yellow W r ag'tail. — In Forfar one was seen, in spring of 1872, by 

 Mr. P. Henderson ; I have no authentic record of its occurrence in Perth ; 

 but in Fife a pair were identified near Anstruther, in May, 1883, by Al. 

 Foster, Esq. ; and one was obtained by Mr. Harvey Brown on the Isle of 

 May, Oct., 1884. — (Report on Migration of Birds.) 



43. Meadow Pipet does not always remain all winter. 



44. Tree Pipet is not uncommon in many parts of Perth ; and it extends 

 to Athole and Strathtay. 



45. Rock Pipet is confined to rocky shores. 



46. Golden Oriole- — In Montrose Museum, in autumn 1885, I observed a 



pair of these birds, male and female, in full summer plumage, which Mr Barclay 



of Inchbrayock informs me were shot near Montrose about the summer of 1855. 



47. Great Grey Shrike is not unfrequent in Forfar, Perth, and Fife.
