Woodcock in co. Sligo, and finds tliat most of them are 

 shot in the immediate neighbourhood of the place where 

 they were bred and ringed. He comes to the conclusion 

 that in the west of Ireland the Woodcock is a more or less 

 sedentary and resident bird. 



Among rarities recorded, Mr. Barrington (p. 20) obtained 

 Alauda arvensis cinerea in Oct. 1910 at the lighthouse on 

 the Old Head of Kinsale, co. Cork — the first record for 

 Ireland ; he also had forwarded to him from Teelin, co. 

 Donegal, on March 25 an immature female specimen of the 

 Ivory Gull {Fago'pldla eburnea), and a Lesser Whitethroat 

 (Sylvia canna) from Rockabill light, co. Dublin, killed at 

 the light on May 13. This is a very rare bird in Ireland ; 

 indeed, there are only two previous records. Mr. Nichols 

 notes the receipt of a Squacco Heron (Ardea ralloides), 

 obtained in June 1913 near Westport, co. Mayo, by the 

 National Museum, Dublin. 



From Mr. R. J. Ussher (p. 164) we have a note on the 

 further extension of the breeding-range of the Fulmar — this 

 time as far as Kerry, while in the December number there 

 is a lengthy obituary notice of him by his old friend Mr. R, 

 M. Barrington, accompanied by a portrait.

The President and prime mover in this Dutch orni- 

 thological club is Baron Snouckaert van Schauburg of 

 Dorn, and most of the articles contained in the year-book 

 are from his pen. He commences with a report on orni- 

 thological occurrences in Holland from May 1912 to Sep- 

 tember 1913. The most remarkable find of the year is 

 undoubtedly of the occurrence of Cinclus a. aqvaticus in the 

 extreme south-east of Holland in the province of Limburg. 

 It is a resident there and has been found breeding. A 

 photograph of the nest and specimens obtained is given. 

 The same author writes some notes on a collection of birds 

 he has recently received from Naryn in the Tian-Shan oj^
