of the boat " Caribou," and found its way to the 

 Ramsey Museum (/. of M. Nat. Hist, and Ant. Soc.

Puffin (Fratercula arctica). — In 1911, Mr. Wenner and 

 Ralfe found a few pairs breeding at Maughold Head. 



Great Crested Grebe (Podicipes cristatus). — On July 

 15th, 1910, an adult female was taken in a dying con- 

 dition from a tide-pool near Castletown Pier by 

 T. Kelly, assistant harbour-master, who gave it to 

 Ralfe. Mr. F. W. Leach, of Douglas, identified an 

 immature bird which had been found dead or dying 

 on Douglas shore on February 9th, 1911. 



Manx Shearwater (Pufflnus anglorunri). — When crossing 

 to and from the Island, as he frequently does. Graves 

 has seen birds of the species between April 29th and 

 September 20th (these being the extreme dates) 

 during the last three years, and from Douglas Bay 

 to the Bar Lightship at the mouth of the Mersey. 

 On one occasion there were about one hundred feeding 

 close together. He is of opinion that these are not 

 migrating birds, as has been stated.
