PLATE I 

 MANX SHEARWATER. Puffinus anglorum 



June 1896. This Plate depicts part of the cliff where the Manx Shearwater 

 breeds on an island off the coast of Mull. In the photograph the mouths of 

 the holes, half hidden by the rank herbage, can be detected. The cliff was so 

 steep that it was almost impossible to get a camera set up at all, most of it 

 being very nearly vertical. A pair of Peregrines had their nest on the cliff, 

 but we did not see any Manx Shearwaters among the remains of birds, which 

 consisted chiefly of Puffins.
