1. ' Annals of Scottish Natural History.' 



[The Annals of Scottish Natural History. Nos. 51 & 52, July and 

 October 1904.] 



Mr. T. G. Laidlaw's report on the movements and occur- 

 rences of birds in Scotland during 1903 is commenced in 

 the first and ended in the second of these numbers. It is 

 to be regretted that a falling off should again be noticeable 

 in the returns from the lighthouses on the east coast between 

 the Bell Rock and the Orkneys ; but, on the other hand, 

 those from inland stations are in excess of any previous 

 record. Mr. N. B. Kinnear has some notes on the avifauna 

 of the Loch Arkaig district. In Dr. T. Edmonston Saxby's 

 remarks on the occurrences of birds in Shetland we note the 

 first record of the Hawfinch from that group of islands ; and a 

 footnote (which should refer the reader to p. 187 and not to 

 p. 179) indicates that an example of this range-extending 

 species struck the lantern at the Skerryvore lighthouse, 

 which lies to the south-west of Tiree, in the Hebrides. An 

 editorial complaint is made respecting the wholesale taking 

 of the eggs of the Great Skua, no fewer than sixty having 

 been received by a person in Orkney " from one of the 

 Shetland stations'" [presumably Foula].
