158 THE SCOTTISH NATURALIST 
QuaiL, Coturnix coturnix coturnix.—Three were flushed at 
Inchgairnie near Cupar, Fife, on 16th October. 
Note.—In the first part of this Report we referred to the notes 
from the Kilpatrick Hills as being from Renfrewshire, whereas the 
localities from which the records come are in Dumbartonshire. 
Wryneck in Midlothian.—A Wryneck which had visited the 
neighbourhood of Musselburgh on autumn migration was, I regret 
to say, captured about the 27th August. It was kept in confinement, 
but lived only a few days. The body was sent to the Royal 
Scottish Museum, where it was identified as that of an adult male, 
in somewhat worn plumage, belonging to the Western European 
race, J/ynx torguilla torquilla.—CROsSLEY SyYKES, Musselburgh. 
Greenland Falcon and Pink-footed Geese on North 
Uist.—A Greenland Falcon was observed on the 12th of April, 
the weather being very cold, and the bird, which had been preying 
upon rabbits, was in a fatigued condition. 
A flock of forty Pink-footed Geese were seen feeding in the 
machair on the evening of 4th May. They were very restless and 
made their departure that night. It is interesting to note that though 
the former has been noted on rare occasions, the last-named species 
has not hitherto been recorded.—GEoRGE BEVERIDGE, Lochmaddy. 
Fulmars on the Arbroath Cliffs.—Further to Mr Hunter’s 
note on Forfarshire Fulmars in the Scottish Naturalist (1921, p. 125) 
I would add a few observations on the more detailed distribution 
of the species in the Arbroath area. The cliff-line to the east of 
Arbroath extends from the borough boundary to Lunan Bay, 
a distance of about six miles as the crow flies. Names mentioned 
below will be found on the Ordinance map. On the 17th, and 
again on the 25th April this year, I saw three pairs of Fulmars 
at the Gaylet Pot and Lud Castle. I thought they intended 
to nest, so I returned on the zoth May for a thorough investigation, 
and walked along the clifffhead as far as Lunan Bay. I found one 
pair at Lud Castle, two pairs at the Maiden: Stane, two pairs at the 
Brigal Rock, four pairs at Prail Castle, and one pair at the Red Head. 
From Lud Castle to the Red Head the cliffs rise in gradual 
ascent from 170 feet to 270 feet. The overhung ledges chosen 
by the Fulmars are in sheer clifffaces, half way down, and are 
narrow and well sheltered; in two instances crannies or little caves 
extending a few feet inwards, such as Puffins frequent, were in use. 
In this respect they are different from the Herring-Gulls breeding 
all around, which sit on their eggs in quite exposed situations on 
bare, rocky, and grassy ledges.— WILLIAM LARNACH, Arbroath,
