302 APPENDIX. 



Tringa subarquata (Guld.). Curlew Sandpiper, 



[We made inquiries concerning a specimen of this bird mentioned 

 in Rod and Gun, for September 13th, 1890, as having been shot 

 at Eenniebister. Mr. Eanken traced the bird to Mr. Small the 

 birdstuffer, in Edinburgh, and the latter told Mr. Eanken that 

 it was a Eeeve.] 



Numenius arquata (L.). Curlew. 



On June 4th, 1890, Mr. Monteith-Ogilvie found a Curlew's nest 

 in the parish of Orphir. The bird was sitting on four eggs, 

 and allowed him to get within five or six yards of it. The eggs 

 were only slightly incubated. 



Sterna macruro, Naum. Arctic Tern. 



All the terns found breeding on Damsay by Mr. Monteith-Ogilvie 

 in 1890 were of this species.
