192 THE ZOOLOGIST. 
large numbers are recorded; in October another rush between 
7th and 18th; on the former date numbers migrated with Larks 
and other species not known, and many were killed and fell into 
the sea at Skervuile. At Skerryvore one seen at 7 p.m.; wind §., 
fresh, with fog and rain. In September I have records on six 
days at four stations; in October two at two stations, and in 
December one at one station—Rhuvaal; they passed or struck 
mostly at night or morning, but a few through the day; winds 
mostly southerly, and hazy or foggy ; a few in cloudy and clear. 
Hepcesparrow.—At M‘Arthur’s Head, on Sept. 28th, one 
struck at 1 a.m.; wind N.W., strong, with haze and rain. 
WHEATEAR.—Wheatears or “Stonechecks” are recorded from 
Skerryvore as the most northerly station this year, and thence 
southward at Rhuvaal, Skervuile, Turnberry, Corsewall, and 
Mull of Galloway. The earliest appearance noted is on Aug. 
15th, and the latest on Sept. 28th; thus the migration extended 
over forty-four days. The greatest rush was between Aug. 17th 
and 22nd. The migration took place entirely at night, and 
principally with southerly winds—S., 8.W., and to W.; fewer in 
northerly or easterly winds. ‘The favoured stations were Skerry- 
vore, Rhuvaal, and Skervuile. 
Trrmice.—The negative information that Mr. Edgar never 
saw any Titmice at the Butt of Lewis lighthouse is worthy of 
record. I have notes of their occurrence at M‘Arthur’s Head and 
Lamlash; in each case a single bird struck the lantern, Nov. 16th 
and Aug. 17th, at 6 p.m. and LO a.m. respectively; both during 
west wind, and light air. 
Frerprare.—Occurred at Monach Island and Douglas Head, 
and is reported as usually seen at Butt of Lewis, though not this 
year. At Monach Island a number struck, and fifteen were 
killed, between 8 p.m. and 4 a.m., on Oct. 21st and 22nd; wind 
S.W., fresh, and drizzling rain. At Douglas Head one was 
seen on Oct. 16th, at 10 a.m.; wind N., moderate breeze, and 
cloudy. 
TurusH. —The most northern station is, for 1879, Isle 
Ornsay. Mr. Edgar; however, adds the general information that in 
most years the Butt of Lewis yields large numbers at the lantern ; 
thence southward at Skerryvore, Dhuheartach, Rhinns of Islay, 
Lochindaul, Lamlash, Corsewall, and Point of Ayre. The 
earliest date is Sept. 19th, when a mixed fluck of ‘Thrushes and 
—T,”
