most interesting feature on the island to the ornithologist is the 

 colony of Herring Gulls (Larus argentatus, Gniel.), of which 

 species there will be about twenty pairs or so — a modest 

 estimate, I believe. Other birds seen, which were probably 

 natives, were the Wheatear, Blackbird, Wren, Jackdaw, Carrion 

 Crow, Rock-pipit, Oyster-catcher, Herring Gull, Ringed Plover, 

 and Starling. Rabbits were seen, and Mr. Thomson, of the 

 Lighthouse on Sanda, informs Mr. Watt that the Brown Rat is 

 common here. The following land molluscs were gathered : — 

 Hyalinia alliaria (Miller), H. nitidula (Drap.), Pupa cylindracea 

 (Da Costa). Two common wood-lice (Oniscus asellus, Linne., and 

 Porcellio scaber, Latreille) were obtained on this island, and sent 

 to Mr. Thomas Scott, F.L.S., who named them as above.
