seen on nest. J. W.” 
§ 5214. Five-—Handa, 9 June, 1849. “J. W.” 
I took several nests in Handa. The first towards the north, not 
very far from the top, between a “drong ” and the main island. The 
bird I tried for some time to snare with a noose of string. Afterwards 
Mr. Edge shot it as it flew past. The nest was quite fresh, not 
whitewashed, and was made mostly of heather and grass. I took all 
the eight eggs I have from Handa with my own hands, The Shags 
bred mostly in less exposed places than the Cormorants [§ 5193], but 
there were nests very near those of the latter.
