107. Tengmalm's Owl.— Recorded (Scot. Nat., 1886, p. 308) by Mr. 

 Sim, Fyvie, as killed near Peterhead, on 2nd Feb., 1886. 



108. Scops Owl. — A pair, male and female, were shot at Scone, in 

 May, 1864; and are now in the possession of Mr. John Stewart, Perth. 



109. Eagle Owl. — Reported by Rev. T. Bell, as noticed on the higher 

 hills of Aberdeenshire. This is probably the bird alluded to by Mr. Gray 

 (Bds. W. Scot., p. 55), as reported to him from Aberdeenshire by Mr. John 

 Wilson, Methlick. One was also shot at Faskally, Perthshire, a few years 

 ago ; but this bird was ascertained to have escaped from confinement, indeed, 

 it is not unlikely that the Aberdeenshire bird may also have been an escape, 

 as Mr. Harvie Brown in a note to me says it occurs in a semi-wild and 

 domesticated state in Glenshee, at Mr. Paterson's, Dalnaglar ; and any shot or 

 reported, are probably escapes, whether in Braemar, Forfar, or Perth. 



110. Marsh Harrier. — A male and female were shot near Montrose 

 in 1850 (fide Mr. Barclay). For its appearance in Perthshire (See Scot. Nat., 

 1879, p. 60). 



111. Montague's Harrier. — A fine male bird was shot near Arbroath in 

 the spring of 1885 ; and in the following autumn a female of the same species was 

 got. Both these birds, which I have seen, are in the possession of A. N. Simp- 

 son, Esq., of Mayfield, near Arbroath. 



113. Common Buzzard is not common now, as it used to be formerly 

 in Perth — (See Scot. Nat., April, 1879, p. 57). 



114. Rough-legged Buzzard was once common in Athole — (See 

 Scot. Nat., April, 1879, p. 58). 



115. Lesser-spotted Eagle. — One shot in Aberdeenshire, 20th Sep., 

 1861 — (fide]. A. H. B.) 



117. Sea Eagle bred regularly in Rannoch not many years ago — (See 

 ■Scot. Aat., April, 1879, p. 56.)
