BIRDS. 



LIST OF BIRDS WHICH BREED IN THE VICINITY 

 OF GLASGOW. 



In compiling this list of the birds which breed in the vicinity of Glasgow 

 I have made free use of Mr. Gray's Birds of the West of Scotland, and have 

 followed his arrangement. I have also made use of a paper by Mr. James 

 S. Dixon on the birds frequenting Fossil Marsh, which is published in the 

 Proceedings of the Natural History Society of Glasgow, vol. ii. page 160. 



To Mr. Eobert Gray, F.RS.E., and Mr. J. S. Dixon I am under great obli- 

 gations for their very valuable assistance in making corrections and additions 

 to the list. Mr. James Lumsden, Jun., F.Z.S., has also kindly assisted me 



in this.
