in, whenever a bird has been found to nest in the surrounding 
districts.

In the time of Willughby, the Golden EKagle was reported to 
breed annually upon the high rocks of Snowdon ; the same writer 
records a nest found in Derbyshire in 1668. Bewick quotes 
from Wallis the remark that the Golden Hagle formerly had 
its eyrie on the highest part of Cheviot. Sir W. Jardine, in his 
‘British Birds,’ speaks of the precipices of Westmoreland and 
Cumberland as having once boasted of eyries. 
In the south and east of Scotland the Golden Eagle appears to 
be nearly extinct, having ceased to nest in the counties of Dum- 
fries, Ayr, Forfar, Banff, and Elgin, but still breeds in Kirkeud- 
bright (Rev. 7. B. Bell) and Stirling (Mr. R. Gray), regularly in 
Perthshire (Col. Drummond-Hay), Aberdeen (Mr. A. Newton),and 
the western and northern parts of Scotland and in the Hebrides.
