CoTYLE EIPARIA (L.) ; Sand Martin. — Common. There is a 

 small colony of about thirty nests 2^ miles west of Callander, 

 Their usual date of arrival is about the 6th of May. 



HiRUNDO RUSTICA (L.) ; Swallow ; Gohhlan-gaoithe (" forked 

 wind"). — Abundant. They usually arrive from the 13th 

 of April to the 8th of May, and depart about the 2d of 

 October. 



Chelidon urbica (L.); House Martin. — Still common, but 

 on the decrease. 



Alcedo ispida (L.); Kingfisher; Cruitean ("cymbal"). — • 

 Very rare ; two seen in December 1873, another in March 

 1877. 



Certhia familiaris (L.); Creeper; Shag ("quick tap"). — 

 Common, especially in winter, which, I think, is partly due to 

 the fact of the leaves being off the trees, and consequently 

 the birds are much more easily seen. 



Troglodytes parvulus (Koch); Wren; Dreadhan (from 

 its voice). — Common. 



Sylvia cinerea (Lath.) ; White Throat. — Common. 



Phyllopneuste trochilus (L.) ; Willow Warbler. — Com- 

 mon, especially in certain localities along the river sides. 



Eegulus cristatus (Koch) ; Golden-crested Wren. — Very 

 common in winter ; generally in flocks of considerable size. 



EuTiciLLA PHCENICURA (L.); Eedstart ; Ean-dhearg ("red 

 stern"). — Pretty common in June and July. 



Erythaca rubecula (L.); Eobin; Broinn ("red belly"). — 

 Extremely abundant throughout the year. 



Saxicola cenanthe (L.); Wheat-ear. — Almost rare; only 

 seen in early spring. I do not think that this bird breeds in 

 this neighbourhood, as I have rarely, if ever, seen it after the 

 middle of April, and have never found its nest. 



Pratincola rubetra (L.); Whinchat; Gloichuin ("cairn 

 frequenter"). — Bred in 1875, and possibly since. 



Pratincola rubicola (L.); Stonechat. — Eare; one shot 

 in 1877. 



Accentor modularis (L.); Hedge Accentor. — Extremely 

 common. 



Parus major (L.) ; Great Titmouse. — Very common. 



Parus CiERULEUS (L.) ; Bluc Titmouse ; Coichan. — Common.
