164 THE ZOOLOGIST. 
Wren, T'roglodytes europ@us.—At North Ronaldshay five seen 
during the day-time on Noy. 2lst, fresh breeze (direction not 
noted) with haze. Reported as usually appearing in large 
numbers at Auskerry, but the above-mentioned were the only 
ones seen. 
Gotpcrest, Regulus cristatus.—The almost total absence of 
this species is specially remarked at the Isle of May. Usually they 
are abundant. ‘These birds were decidedly scarce in Scotland 
throughout the summer. 
Rosy, Erythaca rubecula.—Only two records of this species 
on the east coast. At Tarbet Ness one was killed on August 6th 
at 10 p.m., wind light E. breeze; fog and rain; and at Inch Keith 
one struck on August 16th at 11.30 p.m., in similar weather, but 
with wind light W. 
Wueatear, Saxicola enanthe.—The most northerly station 
of the two recorded is Pentland Skerries, and to the south the 
Bell Rock. Between Sept. 7th—when great numbers struck and 
were lost at the latter station, and birds continued passing or 
flying round lantern between midnight and dawn, wind 8.E. and 
variable, fog and haze—and Sept. 17th, Wheatears or “ Stone- 
chats” were on passage. If any rush took place it was between 
Sept. 7th and 11th, on which latter day fourteen were seen and 
two killed. Winds veered from 8. and §$.E. on Sept. 9th and 7th, 
to W. and S.W. on the 11th, 13thand17th. All the birds passed 
at night between 8 p.m. and dawn. 
Trrmrce.— At only one station were Titmice observed on our 
east coast, viz., at the Isle of May, were some were seen on 
Sept. 15th at 10 a.m., wind light W. with haze. From Auskerry, 
however, there is the general report that they are in most years 
abundant there, though none have been seen this season. 
Sone Turusn, T'urdus musicus.—Recorded from a number of 
stations from North Ronaldshay in the north to Auskerry, Pent- 
land Skerries, Dunnet Head, Noss Head, Girdleness, and Bell 
Rock in the south. ‘The greatest numbers noted were at Pent- 
land Skerries, but great numbers also were noted at North 
Ronaldshay and the Bell Rock, where many “ struck and were 
lost.” Their earliest appearance recorded is on Sept. 16th, when 
four struck at Noss Head between 8 p.m. and 10 p.m., wind §., 
moderate with haze. ‘The latest date is Oct. 25th, when numbers, 
along with Blackbirds, struck at North Ronaldshay. The time
