lithographs, after designs by M. Korner, an artist well known 

 in London, are not so successful. Some of them, we think, we 

 have seen before; and though there is perhaps no particular 

 objection to meeting with an old friend a second time, yet Mr. 

 Yarrell has already introduced us to M. Korner's delineations 

 of the Racklehane, Riporre, and sterile Tjaderhona, acknowledg- 

 ing his obligations to Prof. Nilsson^s work — a slight mark of 

 courtesy which it would have been easy for Mr. Lloyd to have 

 imitated. 



The queen of the Scottish lakes must often have been visited 

 by ornithologists, but until lately we did not know of any one 

 of them having tarried to catalogue its birds. Mr. Robert Gray, 

 of Glasgow, whose intended work on the Ornithology of Western 

 Scotland we announced in our last number [supra, p. 256), in 

 1864 contributed a " List of the Birds of Loch Lomond" to 

 Keddie's ' Guidebook,^ whence we obtain an idea of the avi- 

 fauna of that beautiful neighbourhood. Only one hundred and 

 eleven species, however, are enumerated, of which none are very 

 remarkable. It is perhaps worthy of notice here that Sterna 

 duugalli, which has entirely disappeared from the islands in the 

 Firth of Clyde,, where it was originally discovered, still breeds 

 on Inch Moin, where we are delighted to hear it is afforded pro- 

 tection by the proprietor. 



The eastern coast of Scotland, we are pleased to find, still 

 possesses some observant ornithologists, as is testified by a little 

 work ^^ of which we owe a copy to the kindness of a friend. 

 If they will but continue their labours, we are sure they will 

 find that Haddingtonshire or East-Lothian contains within its 

 borders nearly as many species, two hundred and thirty-five in 

 number, as have hitherto been mustered with the assistance of 

 the adjoining shires, and some little help from beyond Forth ; for 

 no one who regards its position on the map can fail to see that 

 it is most favourably situated as a landing-place for stray birds. 

 It is rather curious that Podiceps auritus (auctt. nee Linn. ; P.
