The first number o£ this journal contains an interesting 
article by Mr. Charles Campbell on a large Starling-roost on 
Cramoud Island in the Firth of Forth. ]\Ir. T. G. Gunnis 
follows with details of the shooting, on Tiree, of the example 
of Porzana Carolina which was exhibited by IVIr. E. Lort 
Phillips at the British Ornithologists^ Club on November 
20th last, being the third recognition in the British Islands of 
this black-faced American representative of our Spotted Crake. 
Among the Notes are remarks on migrants in the south of 
Shetland, on considerable immigrations of Wax wings, on 
occurrences of the Great Snipe in Shetland as well as in 
Orkney, and on an exhibition of the first specimen of the 
Green Sandpiper from the Outer Hebrides. In the number 
for April, Mr. T. G. Laidlaw gives his usual Annual Report 
on the ]Movements and Occurrences of Birds in Scotland for 
1901 — a most useful epitome ; while ]\Ir. Harvie-Brown 
contributes an introductory article on additions to the 
ornithological knowledge of the Outer Hebrides acquired 
since 1888. Among the Notes, Mr. W. Eagle Clarke 
records further arrivals of Greenland HedpoUs; while an 
example of Tengmalm's Owl was obtained in Shetland on 
November 5th, 1901, and presented to the Edinburgh 
jNiuseum. IVIr. G. Sim states that a Little Owl [Athene 
noctua), the first for Scotland, was obtained in Kincardine- 
shire on February 1st; the breeding of the Pintail in 
Selkirkshire is recorded ; and Mr. W. Eagle Clarke writes 
that he has received for identification specimens of Sterna 
fluviatilis from a considerable colony breeding on an inland 
loch in Shetland, the first authenticated instance for the 
group. — H. S.
