[§ 2554. F/y^.— Rathlin, Ireland, 19 June, 1863. '' R. 11." 

 From Mr. Robert Harvey, 1864. 



Mr. Ilarvoy writes: — "This is so late a date to got eggs of this bird, that I 

 imagine that it was a second hiying, which I do not think is a common 

 occurrence with it unless the first has met with some accident. My reason for 

 saying so is that in June I have generally found the whole family, old and 

 young — the latter well able to fly — going about. Gradually as the season 

 advances these family-groups amalgamate, until in October they form large 

 flocks, and migrate inland."]
