OF CHESHIRE AND NORTH WALES. 241 
Craic LLAN, NEAR NEVIN, PWLLHELI. 
This is quite a new locality to me, and I do not know of any 
previous record. Lrgut.-CoroneL WynNrE-FINCH (Voelas) has 
written such an interesting account of this place that I have 
pleasure in giving his letter 7 exfenso. He says: ‘‘ Nevin is. 
between seven and eight miles from Pwllheli, on the north 
coast of Carnarvonshire, and there is a rather remarkable rock, 
Careg-llam, some three miles N.E. of it, which rises nearly 
perpendicularly from the sea to a height of about 400 feet— 
rather less perhaps. At the base of this rock are caves in 
which there used to be (I have often seen them) seals, and 
on the ledges of this rock the sea and wild birds build in 
regular tiers. 
‘‘It is many years since I have been there, hut I have seen 
them and watched them, and it is curious to see how the 
various kinds of birds keep to their own tiers. The Guillemots 
below, the various kinds of Sea Gulls and Cormorants below; 
Hawks, Peregrine Falcons, Ravens, and Herons, high up. 
“‘In years gone by I have had many specimens of eggs 
given me which came from this place, though I hardly know 
how they got them, unless they were let down from above in a 
basket. 
“T believe the place has of late years been a good deal 
disturbed by visitors or tourists, armed with guns, and fear the 
rarer birds must have been considerably thinned by the 
depredations of these people; but the rock still teems with 
wild birds, and is the most remarkable breeding place of the 
kind (except the Bass Rock) that I have ever seen in Great 
Britain.”” (June 5th, 1893.) 
RUG, NEAR CoRWEN 
(The Residence of C. H. Wynn, Esq.) 
Mr. THos. Ruppy informs me that ‘‘there is at present a 
Heronry existing here. The Herons come from this place to 
Palé, nine miles distant to fish, and also visit the Bala Lake for 
that purpose.” 5 
In revising this paper, Cot. Evans-Lioyp kindly furnished 
the following information from the owner:—‘‘ There is a 
Heronry at Rig of about one dozen nests, in some larch trees 
forming a clump. There is also a branch establishment 
started recently, close to the Rookery in the large wood facing the 
house, and about half-a-mile distant, but there are not more 
than three or four nests. (June 6th, 1893.)

The Rev. R. Wittiams, in “ History and Antiquities of the 
Town of Aberconway’’ (Conway), says of the Heron:—**A
