The Birds of Pembrokeshire. XVii. 
Jeffreys, the bird-stuffer in Bridge Street, Haverfordwest, who has now 
for several years sent us information of every rare bird that has come 
into his hands. Mr. Charles Jefferys, naturalist, of Tenby, has sup- 
plied us with many valuable and interesting notes respecting the birds 
to be found in his neighbourhood, and also on Caldy Island, almost 
the only one of the beautiful Pembrokeshire islands we have not our- 
selves visited. In the National Collection of British Birds at South 
Kensington there are many labelled as having been the gift of the 
Rev. A. Morgan. This was the late Chancellor Morgan, of Machen, 
Monmouthshire, uncle to Sir Hugh Owen, to whose gun most, if 
not all, of these specimens were due. Our thanks must be given 
also to Dr. Propert, of St. Davids, who has kindly assisted us in 
compiling our account of the various Pembrokeshire islands, cor- 
recting what we had written, and adding some interesting matter 
from his own extended experience. 
II.—Puysicat GroGRAPHY. 
Pembrokeshire is one of the smaller Welsh counties, and 1s ex- 
ceeded in area by nearly all the English counties, Bedford, Hunting- 
don, Rutland, and Middlesex excepted. It occupies the south- westerly 
portion of the Principality, and is bounded on the north-east by 
Cardiganshire, on the north, north-west and west by the St. George’s 
Channel, on the south by the Bristol Channel, and on the east by 
Carmarthenshire and Carmarthen Bay. It lies between 51° 36’, and 
52° 7', N. lat., and 4° 30’ and 5° 20’ W. long. The length, from 
Strumble Head on the north coast to St. Gowan’s Head on the south, 
is 31 miles. The average width from east to west barely exceeds 21 
miles. The area is 628 square miles, or 401,691 acres. The chief 
geographical feature of the county is the extent of its sea-coast, 
which must exceed a hundred miles in length, owing to indentations 
in the form of numerous bays and estuaries. Its western shores 
furnish many wonderful and conspicuous examples of denudation by 
atmospheric and marine agencies; the hard and igneous rocks, for 
instance, stand out boldly on the north and south extremities of St. 
Bride’s Bay, but the softer old red sandstone, silurian, and coal 
measure strata lying between them have been weathered by the
