|.'>f) HISTORY OF 



Teal used to breed on the Avon ganol before the drainage, and 

 that river was the resort of many hundreds of these, and other 

 kinds of the duck tribe. 



Pelecanus Carbo. Cormorant. Mulvran. 



They breed in the rocks of Llandudno and Khiwleden ; their 

 nests consisting of sticks and sea weed, are commonly placed on the 

 higher ledges, above the guillemots and gulls; the eggs generally 

 three or four in number are white with a very slight tint of blue, 

 coated with a chalky substance ; they are longer than those of the 

 domestic hen, but considerably less in circumference ; they also 

 have a strong fishy smell. 



PLANTS. 



As several botanists visit this neighbourhood in 

 the summer months, the following list of the more 

 uncommon plants, with some of their habitats, it 

 is hoped, will be an useful guide: — 



Ligustrum vulgare. Common privet. 



Grows above the mines on Llandudno mountain. 



Veronica hybrida. Welsh speedwell. 



On the limestone rocks above Llandudno village, and near 

 Gloddaith.
