REPORT ON THE MIGRATION OF BIRDS. 195 
at 7 a.m., calm, with fog. The above are all the returns of 
“ Finches.” 
Liynet.— Only two records. At Rhuvaal on Sept. 9th, thirty 
to forty, old and young, were seen around the lantern at 10 a.m.; 
wind HK. to N., breeze to stormy, with haze; and at Lamlash on 
same date and at same hour, fifty were seen; wind fresh breeze 
from W., and clear. 
YELLOWHAMMER.—At Lamlash on Aug. 17th, one struck at 
10 a.m., in light W. wind, and fog. 
Snow Buntrine.—At Monach Island, farthest north recorded, 
and at Dhuheartach and Corsewall. Earliest appearance Sept. 
19th, when a flock was seen at Monach Island at noon, with 8. W. 
light wind, and clear weather. Latest date Dec. 10th, when one 
was caught at Corsewall at 10 p.m.; wind variable, light, and 
haze; thus, time occupied was eighty-two days. A rush took 
place probably about Sept. 19th, when a flock was seen at 
Monach Island,—but our data are scanty,—and another about 
Noy. 10th, when a flock passed Corsewall. Other dates of record 
are Oct. 10th and 13th; they passed in N.W. and N. winds, in 
clear or cloudy weather; also in September in 8.W., with clear 
weather, and variable wind, with clear or haze. All the records 
are during the night, except one at 12 noon, at Monach Island 
on Sept. 19th; wind 8.W., clear. 
Larx.— The most northern station noted this year was 
Dhuheartach, and thence southward they are noticed at M‘Arthur’s 
Head, Skervuile, Rhinns of Islay, Lamlash and Corsewall. The 
earliest date is Aug. 17th, when twenty: struck at Dhuheartach 
between 10 p.m. and 8 a.m.; wind W., with haze. The latest 
date is Dec. 6th, when one struck at 9 p.m.; wind 8.E., fresh, 
and haze, at Corsewall; the time thus occupied was one hundred 
and twelve days (but the last was no doubt due to the severe 
frost inland at that time). The previous date is Nov. 18th, 
which would make the time only seventy-nine days. The greatest 
rush appears to have been in October, about the 12th to 24th, 
but the numbers observed are so small that it is difficult to 
judge. The locality most favoured was Dhuheartach, whence I 
have returns on eight different dates, between Aug. 17th and 
Noy. 24th. An earlier rush took place about Aug. 17th to 
21st, at Dhuheartach and Skervuile. A later rush about Noy. 
15th to 18th at Dhuheartach, Skervuile, and Rhinns of Islay,
