The final (October) number of the 'Scottish Annals' 

 contains only one paper on Birds^ namely the continuation 

 of the '' Report on Scottish Ornithology '^ by Misses Rintoul 

 and Baxter^ giving details of the migration during the year. 

 Crossbills again visited us from abroad^ and there are 

 several instances of the capture of the Continental forms of 

 our species in both the north and the south of Scotland. 



The first two numbers of the new issue contain some 

 most important notes, but no long article on Ornithology. 

 Mr. Eagle Clarke describes the first British example of the 

 Pinc-Buntiiig {Emberiza leucocephala) , the second of the 

 Sprosser {Luscinia hiscinia), and the third of Baird^s 

 Sandpiper {Trxncja hairdi) ; the two first-named occurred 

 at Fair Isle, the last at St. Kilda. The first Scotch Wood- 

 chat-Shrike is recorded from the Isle of May by Misses 

 Kiutoul and Baxter, and the first Serin Finch from Edinburgh 

 by ]\Ir, Wild; while the Duchess of Bedford writes on 

 llichard^s Pipit and the Lapland Bunting, shot by her on 

 Fair Isle. Mr. W. Evans and Mr. R. L, Ritchie each report 

 the occurrence of a Whimbrel in winter on the coast of 

 Haddingtonshii-e.
