In the ‘ Natural History of Deeside’ it is recorded that the 
Snow-Bunting has been noticed (by Macgillivray), early in 
August, on Lochnagar, Cairn-tual, and Ben-mac-dhui. In the 
same work, Messrs. Cumming and Brown state that it resides 
on these mountains all summer, and breeds; and Mr. Stewart 
says that it breeds on Ben Aun. In Banffshire, also, Mr. T. 
Edward has seen the Snow-Bunting in summer (Zoologist, p. 
6597). Reference may be made to the first volume of Macgil- 
livray’s ‘British Birds, and to Yarrell, who quotes Colonel 
Thornton as having seen “ Snow-flakes ” on a Ptarmigan-moun- 
tain on the 29th of August. 
Quite recently Dr. Saxby has discovered the nest of the 
Snow-Bunting in Unst, Shetland (‘ Zoologist,’ p. 7709) ; and 
he tells me that he has upon many occasions observed pairs of 
them durmg summer, but in parts of the cliffs almost always 
inaccessible (see also ‘ Zoologist ’ for 1863, p. 8680, and 1864, 
p- 9237). In the latter passage Dr. Saxby considers that the 
Snow-Bunting breeds regularly in the cliffs below Saxavord.
