The Song-Thrush (Turdus musicus, Linn.) is not more common 

 than its congener, the Mistle-Thrush, but Mr. Wilson has seen 

 large flocks in green crops above Carmyle in autumn — the end of 

 September and beginning of October especially. 



The Redwing [Ttirdus iliacus, Linn.) is. frequent in flocks up 

 to thirty birds. 



The Fieldfare {Turdus pila/ris, Linn.) is to be seen regularly 

 during the time of its stay in this country, and in April 

 especially, at and opposite Daldowie, I have seen it regularly in 

 flocks of a dozen, and ranging up to a couple of hundred indi- 

 viduals. Birds are well known to frequent certain places in 

 preference to others that might seem equally attractive, and Mr. 

 Wilson mentions Westthorn Haugh as specially favoured by the 

 Fieldfare. 



The Blackbird {Turdus merula, Linn.) is pretty common. 



The Wheatear {Saxicola cenanthe (Linn.)) is to be seen during 

 the spring and autumn migrations. I usually see it at least 

 once in the spring, on a spit of sand and gravel, on a tree, or in 

 the cultivated fields. 



The Whinchat {Fratincola rubetra (Linn. ) ) I have seen at the 

 Old Water-works opposite Belvidere, and Mr. Wilson has seen 

 it at Dalbeth early in the autumn. 



The Redstart {Ruticilla phcenicuriis (Linn.)), I have seen only 

 once — opposite Kenmuir, 23rd April, 1892. Mr. John Robertson 

 saw a pair near the Rotten Calder, 30th April, 1895, while Mr. 

 Wilson has seen it on the return migration, 3rd August, 1898, 

 at Farme. 



The Redbreast {Erithacus ruhecida (Linn.)) is quite common 

 above Cambuslang. 



The Whitethroat {Sylvia cinerea (Bechstein)) enlivens the 

 hedges on the banks of the river in summer. 



The Golden-crested Wren {Regulus cristatus, K. L. Koch) has 

 been observed at Kenmuir — a small party early in October, 

 1898. 



The Willow- Wren {Phylloscopus trochilus (Linn.)) is of course 

 abundant, usually appearing in numbers towards the end of the 

 third week in April. 



Of the Wood- Wren {Phylloscopus sibilatrix (Bechstein)) I have 

 but a single notice, and that quite recently, viz. : — On 23rd June,
