nest, and that be also found many nests of the Willow-Wren 

 [Phylloscopii.s trochilus), both new breeders for Shetland. 

 Mr. James McL. INiarshall follows with some notes made 

 between April and July in the vicinity of St. Mary's Loch, 

 Selkiikshire; and, from a significant omission, we gather 

 that " on still St. Mary's lake " the Swan no longer "floats 

 double, swan and shadow." Some evidence of the nesting 

 of the Lesser Whitethroat {Sylvia curruca) in W^est Ross- 

 shire deserves mention. — PL S. 



2. Aplin on the Birds of Carnai'vonshire. 



[Further Notes from Lleyn, "West Carnarvonshire. By 0. Y. Aplin, 

 F.L.S. Zoologist, 1901, pp.' 141-150.] 



In this, as well as in a previous paper published in the 

 same periodical (Zool. 1900, p. 489), Mr. Aplin has given a 

 pleasing account of his rambles over the western parts of 

 Carnarvonshire, and of his adventures in search of the birds 

 of that district. Bardsey Island, where the Manx Shear- 

 water appears still to breed, was also visited. No special 

 rarity was observed, unless it be the Purple Sandpiper, of 

 which three occurrences were noted during the two visits. 



3. Arrigoni degli Oddi on Birds from Dabnatia. 



[Nota su una Piccola raccolta di Uccelli del Museo di Zagabria 

 provenienti dal Litorale Daliuato. Atti R. 1st. Veneto d. Sci. Ix. 

 pp. 575-585.] 



Count Arrigoni has carefully compared the specimens in a 

 small collection of birds made for him by Herr Erusina 

 (Director of the National Zoological Museum of Agram) on 

 the Dalmatian littoral with others from various localities 

 in the Palsearctic region, and notes the results. Count 

 Arrigoni seems to be of the opinion that it is not easy to 

 separate Hypolais icterina and H. polyglotta satisfactorily.
