[§ 2580. One. — Puffin Island, Anglesey, 21 May, 1853. From 

 Lord Lilford. 



Writing to me from London, on tbe 23rd of that month, Lord Lilford (then 

 Mr. Powys) said : — " As I see by your list that the Chough's e^^ is among 

 your desiderata, I have great pleasure in telling you that 1 have one for you 

 which I took myself the day before yesterday on Puffin Island, at the north- 

 east corner of the isle of Anglesey, out of the ruined tower of an old church. 

 The old birds were fljang about all the time we were at the nest, which con- 

 tained three eggs and one young one.'' The e^^ reached me on the 13th of 

 June following.]

 ling's collection, 1855.] 



[§ 2582. Two.—kd\\\\, Galway, April, 1855. From Lord 

 Lilford. 



A few hurried lines, dated the 12th of April, from Mr. Powys, whose 

 regiment was that very day leaving Dublin for Devonport, merely say: — "I have 

 got two Chough's eggs for you, taken in Achill. Where shall I send them ? " 

 These must have been just received by him, for, writing to me the day before, 

 he did not mention them, and I failed to get any further information about 

 them. He could not have taken them himself, but I believe he had been in 

 Achill a short time previously and had probably arranged to have them sent 

 to him. He brought them with him to England, and they reached me on the 

 19th of the month.] 



[§ 2583. Five.—R?Mm, Donegal, 10 May, 1862. From Mr.
