"The Birds of Dumfriesshire." 37 



THE GREAT CRESTED GREBE. Several pairs nested in 

 the Lochmaben Lochs in 1911 ; and I had the pleasure of seeing 

 one there on the Castle Loch on June 6th. 



THE RED-NECKED GREBE. The Catalogue of the Birds 

 contained in the collection of Sir William Jardine was printed 

 in 1874, not 1847, as indicated, (p. 461.) 



THE SLAVONIAN GREBE attempted to breed in Inverness- 

 shire in 1908 and 1909, not in "Argyllshire '' as I have stated 

 (p. 463), and would probably have done so had not the birds 

 been persecuted. ^^ 



LEACH'S FORK-TAILED PETREL. The specimen recorded 

 as picked up " by Mr. John Jardine " (p. 469), was found by 

 him on November 16th, 1830, about three miles north of 

 Jardine Hall (Applegarth) " after one of the most violent storms 

 of thunder, wind, and rain that had for many years visited 

 Dumfriesshire.^'' 



A Leach's Fork-tailed Petrel was found on the road 

 between Cummertrees and Annan on November 15th, 1911, 

 having killed itself by flying against the telegraph wires. 



As regards 



THE INDEX, 



the following local names should be added : — 

 Bittern for the Common Snipe (p. 389). 

 Brown Hawk for the Kestrel (p. 217). 

 Glead or Gled, formerly, for the Kite (p. 209).

 White Spotted, for the Woodpecker, British Great 

 Spotted (p. 157). 



Finally, it may be pointed out that in 



THE MAP 



the darker of the two shades of blue, used to denote the sea, 

 indicates the water below low-water mark.
