served at Gogerddan. At Borth, Mr. F. T. Fielden watched one 

 feeding on offal. It allowed him to approach within a dozen 

 yards, and remained for about ten days. 



Pygopodes. 



Razorbill, Alca torda. Constantly to be seen fishing in the 

 bay, generally in company with the knots of Gulls which hover 

 and scream over a surface-swimming shoal. Many dead ones are 

 washed up in winter after continued rough weather. A few pairs 

 breed in company with Guillemots at New Quay Head. 



Common Guillemot, Uria troile. There is a small colony 

 upon the Craig yr Adar, or " Birds' Rock," a part of New Quay 

 Head. This is the only breeding station upon the Cardiganshire 

 coast. On June 26th, 1894, a few young ones were to be seen, 

 but most of the birds were still sitting. 



Black Guillemot, U. grylle. Mr. Hutchings only knows of 

 one example, a bird in summer plumage, shot in April some 

 miles out in the bay. 



Little Auk, Mergulus alle. One or two obtained almost 

 every winter, generally washed ashore dead after rough weather. 



Puffin, Fratercula arctica. Seldom seen inshore, unless 

 washed up, though no doubt common in the Channel. It has no 

 breeding station upon the Cardiganshire coast. 



Great Northern Diver, Colymbus glacialis. Frequent in 

 winter. One shot by Capt. G. W. Cosens was in the act of 

 swallowing a large trout. 



Black-throated Diver, C. arcticus. Once in breeding 

 plumage. Immature birds are not infrequent. 



Red-throated Diver, C. septentrionalis. Common in winter. 

 One seen on May 6th showed no red upon the throat. On April 

 5th, 1893, I saw parties of five and twelve fishing near together 

 in shoal- water. 



Great Crested Grebe, Podicipes cristatus. Very seldom 

 obtained, and never met with in breeding plumage. 



Sclavonian Grebe, P. auritus. A winter visitor, chiefly to 

 the Dovey, whence Capt. G. W. Cosens and Mr. F. T. Fielden 

 have obtained examples. 



Little Grebe, P. fluviatilis. Common, especially in the 

 ditches at Borth.
